English,personal,possessive,and reflexive pronouns and corresponding determiners have three special forms that tell of reference to the speaker(,first person,),to the one spoken to(,second person,),and to the human being or thing spoken about(,third person,).These three persons have their singular and plural forms and case distinctions:the,subjective,and the,objective case,.,By pronoun concord in person,we mean two things:first,a pronoun must agree with its antecedent in person,on the sentential level,;secondly,in a broader context,that is,in texts or connected discourses,the speaker or writer must keep a consistent person in the use of pronouns.,12,精选2021版课件,On sentential level,*When,one,goes to see her,you,should plan on spending the whole day there because she always
