Here's a breakdown:
* Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, we, you, I).
* Inflection: The process of changing the form of a word to indicate grammatical function (e.g., tense, number, gender).
Inflected pronouns change form depending on their grammatical role in a sentence. The most common examples are:
* Case:
* Nominative: Used for the subject of a verb (e.g., *I* went to the store).
* Objective: Used for the object of a verb or preposition (e.g., He gave the book to *me*).
* Possessive: Shows ownership (e.g., *My* car is blue).
Examples of Inflected Pronouns:
* Nominative: I, you, he, she, it, we, they
* Objective: me, you, him, her, it, us, them
* Possessive: my, your, his, her, its, our, their
Note: Not all pronouns are inflected. For instance, the indefinite pronouns "something," "everyone," and "nothing" do not change form.
