Is ‘we’ a Pronoun?

Answer – Yes, ‘we’ is a pronoun.

Explanation: 

Pronouns are words that stand in place of nouns mentioned previously. Of these, personal pronouns are used instead of the name of a person or thing.

‘We’ is a personal pronoun that is employed when referring to a group that includes the speaker or writer. This means that it is always the plural form and indicates the first person. 

Therefore, ‘we’ is a first person, personal pronoun.

For example:

  • Steve and I head to the gym every evening. We never skip our workouts.
  • Pam and I took driving lessons last fall. We are both excellent drivers now.

‘We’ is the plural personal pronoun in the subjective case. Its objective case is ‘us,’ and its possessive form is ‘our(s)’.
