Gender in English
A system of grammatical gender, whereby every noun was treated as either masculine, feminine, or neuter, existed in Old English, but fell out of use during the Middle English period; therefore, Modern English largely does not have grammatical gender. Modern English lacks grammatical gender in the sense of all noun classes requiring masculine, feminine, or neuter inflection or agreement; however, it does retain features relating to natural gender with particular nouns and pronouns (such as woman, daughter, husband, uncle, he and she) to refer specifically to persons or animals of one or other sexes and neuter pronouns (such as it) for sexless objects.
He (pronoun)
In Modern English, he is a singular, masculine, third-person pronoun. In Standard Modern English, he has four shapes representing five distinct word forms: he: the nominative (subjective) form him: the accusative (objective) form (also called the oblique case) his: the dependent and independent genitive (possessive) forms himself: the reflexive form Old English had a single third-person pronoun — from the Proto-Germanic demonstrative base *khi-, from PIE *ko- "this" — which had a plural and three genders in the singular.
English personal pronouns
The English personal pronouns are a subset of English pronouns taking various forms according to number, person, case and grammatical gender. Modern English has very little inflection of nouns or adjectives, to the point where some authors describe it as an analytic language, but the Modern English system of personal pronouns has preserved some of the inflectional complexity of Old English and Middle English.
Subject pronoun
In linguistics, a subject pronoun is a personal pronoun that is used as the subject of a verb. Subject pronouns are usually in the nominative case for languages with a nominative–accusative alignment pattern. On the other hand, a language with an ergative-absolutive pattern usually has separate subject pronouns for transitive and intransitive verbs: an ergative case pronoun for transitive verbs and an absolutive case pronoun for intransitive verbs. In English, the commonly used subject pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, one, we, they, who and what.
Pronom neutre
A third-person pronoun is a pronoun that refers to an entity other than the speaker or listener. Some languages with gender-specific pronouns have them as part of a grammatical gender system, a system of agreement where most or all nouns have a value for this grammatical category. A few languages with gender-specific pronouns, such as English, Afrikaans, Defaka, Khmu, Malayalam, Tamil, and Yazgulyam, lack grammatical gender; in such languages, gender usually adheres to "natural gender", which is often based on biological sex.
She (pronom personnel)
In Modern English, she is a singular, feminine, third-person pronoun. In Standard Modern English, she has four shapes representing five distinct word forms: she: the nominative (subjective) form her: the accusative (objective, also called the 'oblique'.) form; the dependent genitive (possessive) form hers: the independent genitive form herself: the reflexive form Old English had a single third-person pronoun – from the Proto-Germanic demonstrative base *khi-, from PIE *ko- "this" – which had a plural and three genders in the singular.
Pronom personnel en français
En grammaire française, le pronom personnel est une catégorie de pronoms servant à désigner les trois types de personnes grammaticales. La classification des pronoms en trois personnes distinctes a été héritée de la culture grecque qui appelait Personae les figurations réalisées par la flexion verbale.

Pronom
En grammaire française, le pronom est un mot-outil variable dont le rôle principal est de se substituer à un élément quelconque, linguistique ou non. Le pronom est donc avant tout un représentant. Étymologiquement, pronom signifie mis pour le nom (le préfixe pro- a le sens de à la place de). C'est-à-dire que le pronom remplace un nom, auquel il se rapporte. Par ailleurs, le pronom peut parfois être le noyau d'un syntagme (appelé syntagme pronominal) : Nous avons vu de vraiment intéressant.
Personne (grammaire)
En linguistique et en grammaire, la personne représente le trait grammatical décrivant le rôle qu'occupent les acteurs d'un dialogue (émetteur, récepteur, référents extérieurs au dialogue). Les verbes, les déterminants et pronoms personnels, principalement, sont concernés par la distinction de personne. Les noms peuvent aussi l'être, surtout dans les cas de possession indiquée par un suffixe personnel. En celtique, de plus, les prépositions peuvent aussi se fléchir selon la personne.
