Pronouns in English

You and I

The most basic relationship between two people uses these two pronouns: 

 you and I

In a conversation between two people, the pronouns “you” and “I” are used. Here’s an example:

Joe walks into the office where he works. He greets a coworker. 

 

Joe: Hi. How are you today? 

Sara: Hi.  I’m fine. How are you? 

Joe: I’m fine. Are you busy right now? 

Sara: No,  I’m not.  What do you need? 

Joe: I need some help moving some boxes. Can you help me? 

Sara: Sure, let me finish what I’m working on and then I’ll be able to help you out.

  • I am a teacher.
