Personal pronouns replace a subject, an object, or a possessive noun in a sentence. Pronouns should agree in number. For example, a plural pronoun replaces a plural noun, and a singular pronoun replaces a singular noun. Pronouns should also agree in gender. Possessive pronouns can be singular or plural.
