Which of the following lists includes third-person pronouns?

• A. I, me, my
• B. You, your
• C. He, she, they, them, his, hers, their
• D. This, that, these, those

Answer: (C)

Third-person pronouns refer to someone or something other than the speaker or the person being spoken to. The forms in this set include he and she (singular, subject), they (plural, subject), him and her (singular, object), them (plural, object), and his, hers, their (possessive forms). These show the different ways we refer to others and their ownership or role in a sentence. The other options belong to the speaker (I, me, my), the listener (you, your), or function as demonstratives (this, that, these, those), which aren’t the third-person personal pronouns described here.
