Gender in EnglishA 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.
It (pronoun)In Modern English, it is a singular, neuter, third-person pronoun. In Modern English, it has only three shapes representing five word forms: it: the nominative (subjective) and accusative (objective) forms. (The accusative case is also called the "oblique".) its: the dependent and independent genitive (possessive) forms itself: the reflexive form Historically, though, the morphology is more complex. 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 neutreA 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.
English personal pronounsThe 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.
PronomEn 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.
Pronom personnel en françaisEn 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.

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.
