PRONOUNS

There are some pronouns that you need to learn to decline:

Demonstrative pronouns:

is, ea, id (this, that, he/she/it)

This has several meaning but can also be used as a 3rd person personal pronoun (see below)

hic, haec, hoc (this)

These can also be translated as 3rd person pronouns (e.g. he, she, it) close to the speaker/ the latter.

ille, illa, illud (that)

These can also be translated as 3rd person pronouns (e.g. he, she, it) far from the speaker/the former.

ipse, ipsa, ipsum (himself, herself, itself, themselves)

This means ‘that very person’ not a reflexive pronoun!

Personal Pronouns:

se and sese can both be used but sese is used more emphatically!
Latin uses is, ea, id; his, haec hoc; or ille, illa, illud for the 3rd person (as seen above)
Reflexive pronouns always refer to the subject of the clause/sentence
You can use the personal pronouns for 1st and 2nd person for reflexive pronouns as well.

Posessive Pronouns:

Latin sometimes uses possessive pronouns instead of the genitive personal pronoun

Whilst this table looks daunting, there are lots of predictable endings and lots of patterns!
