In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack talk about common mistakes non-native English speakers make when using pronouns. "He/him/his" and "she/her/hers" are sets of pronouns commonly used to refer to individuals based on their gender identity. Pronouns are words used to replace nouns in sentences to avoid repetition and make the language more efficient. In English, the three sets of pronouns generally used are: He/him/his: "He" is used as a subject pronoun, replacing the male person's name or noun in the subject position of a sentence. Example: He is going to the store. "Him" is used as an object pronoun, replacing the male person's name or noun in the object position of a sentence. Example: Mary saw him at the party. "His" is used as a possessive pronoun, showing ownership or association with the male person. Example: John lost his keys. These pronouns are typically used when referring to individuals who identify as male or use masculine pronouns. She/her/hers: "She" is used as a subject pronoun, replacing the female person's name or noun in the subject position of a sentence. Example: She is a doctor. "Her" is used as an object pronoun, replacing the female person's name or noun in the object position of a sentence. Example: Peter called her yesterday. "Hers" is used as a possessive pronoun, showing ownership or association with the female person. Example: The book is hers. These pronouns are typically used when referring to individuals who identify as female or use feminine pronouns.

  • Welcome to the A to Z English podcast, where Jack and Sochil take you on a journey from learning the basics to mastering the nuances of the english language.

  • Our podcast is designed for non native speakers who are looking to improve their english skills in a fun and interactive way.

  • Each episode covers a wide range of topics, from grammar and vocabulary to slang and culture, to help you navigate the english speaking world with ease.

  • Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.

  • My name is Jack, and I am here with my co host, Sochil.

  • And today we have a very special episode for you, Sochil.

  • What is today's episode?

  • So, today our episode is about pronouns which refer to either male or female, he, him, his, or she, her, hers, and how use them within a certain sentence structure.

  • So I want to talk a little bit about how when you're learning English as a second language, they can be confusing because a lot of languages either don't have the same pronoun layout that we do, or a lot more things are gendered in other languages than they are in English, like objects and things like that.

  • Whereas in English, it's mostly people are going to be gendered, sometimes pets are going to be gendered, and that's like it, basically.

  • Right.

  • So in Spanish, the other language you speak, you can drop the pronoun.

  • You don't even need the pronoun.

  • Right?

  • Yeah.

  • And I didn't realize until after living in Korea and it being kind of similar, that Spanish is not necessarily subject heavy where English is.

  • And so sometimes it does make it confusing, like who you're talking about.

  • So I think that can be something.

  • English is not confusing, but other languages can be a little confusing about who we're talking about.

  • So I think that's something our listeners might be able to relate to in this situation.
