                                   [antecedent]
             Personal pronouns replace nouns that act as the subject or the

             object in a sentence.
             Personal Pronouns are of two types:
             Subjective personal pronouns replace subjects in a sentence.
                    She met me at the bus stop. [subject]

             Objective personal pronouns replace objects in a sentence.
                    Anupama met her at the bus stop. [object]
