Personal Pronouns (Pronombres personales)

En ingls no existe la forma "usted" o "ustedes" formal. Por lo tanto los nativos de la lengua ni siquiera lo tienen conceptualizado como una forma aqu llamada "formal". Se tiene que entender entonces que la forma masculina, femenina y neutra son lo mismo, lo nico que les diferencia es el gnero. Adems, ten en cuenta que en ingls slo existe una forma para "tu" y "vosotros" "you," excepto en la forma reflexiva que distingue entre el singular (yourself) y plural (yourselves).

Ejemplos: Where is it [the book]? (Dnde est [el libro]?) What is its [the dog] name? (Cmo se llama [el perro]?) What time is it? (Qu hora es?) It is raining. (Est lloviendo.)

Nota: "It es una particula muy importante en ingls de la que los hablantes de lengua espaola se suelen olvidar.
