Subject pronouns + possessive adjectives
Explanation
Every English sentence needs a subject. The subject pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, they. Each has a matching possessive adjective that comes before a noun: my, your, his, her, its, our, their. Use he/his for a male, she/her for a female, it/its for a thing. English needs the subject even when it is obvious — you cannot drop it the way many languages can.
Examples
- He is my friend. His name is Jack.He is my friend. His name is Jack.
- She is here. Her name is Emma.She is here. Her name is Emma.
- We are friends. You are my friend too.We are friends. You are my friend too.

this / that
Explanation
this points to something near you; that points to something farther away. Both can stand alone (What's this?) or come before a noun (this friend, that person). To introduce a person, English uses this: "This is Jack" — not "He is Jack" the first time you point them out.
Examples
- This is my friend.This is my friend.
- That is Emma. She's here.That is Emma. She's here.
- What's this? — It's my name.What's this? — It's my name.
