How are pronouns used?
Pronouns are used in place of a proper noun (like someone's name). We use pronouns most often when referring to someone without using their name. Example: Have you heard from Tom? He hasn't texted me back all day.

We also use it when a clause is the subject of a verb such as appear, seem, look, occur, which hedge or soften the statement, making it less direct: It seems they've all lost contact since they met at the wedding.
What are the correct pronouns?
RULE: Pronouns have three cases: nominative (I, you, he, she, it, they), possessive (my, your, his, her, their), and objective (me, him, her, him, us, them). Use the nominative case when the pronoun is the subject of your sentence, and remember the rule of manners: always put the other person's name first!
What is the difference between two forms of we namely us and they?
Both we and us refer to groups of two or more people that include the speaker or writer. We is a subject pronoun, which means it is used as the subject of sentences. Us is an object pronoun; it is used as an object in sentences. They are never interchangeable.
