Personal pronouns are words that substitute or replace specific nouns, be it a person, animal, thing, place, event, etc. There are mainly three types of personal pronouns: Subject pronouns (I, we, you, he, she, it , they), object pronoun (me, us, you, him, her, it, them) and possessive pronouns (mine, ours, yours, his, hers, its, theirs).

In the passage there are 28 personal pronouns, 7 of which are object pronouns: “me” and “it” and 21 are subject pronouns: “I”

Answer 2

In this passage we have 21 personal pronouns and they are all “I”

" For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and make."
