Личные местоимения (Personal pronouns)
Личные местоимения имеют формы двух падежей: именительного падежа (The Nominative case), объектного падежа (the Objective case) .
Личные местоимения в именительном падеже выполняют функцию подлежащего и именной части составного сказуемого:
I saw that picture (подлежащее).
It is I (he, we и т.д.) (именная часть сказуемого).
Личные местоимения в объектном падеже выполняют функцию прямого дополнения или функцию беспредложного косвенного дополнения:
He saw me in the street (прямое дополнение).
He showed her the picture (беспредложное косвенное дополнение).

MY BIOGRAPHY
Hello, friends. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Tatiana or Tanya for my friends. My surname or last name is Lavrova. I was born on the 19th of October 1984 in Moscow. Now I am a first-year student at the Technical Academy. In five years I’ll be an engineer.
Now let me describe my appearance. I am tall and slim and have fair hair and blue eyes. My friends say that I am pretty. I think I am just good-looking. I love sports and music. I love to listen to modern music and dance. I dance a lot and I hope I am good at it. I also love swimming.
Now a few words about my family. There are five people in our family. My father’s name is Yevgeny Yakovlevich. He is a mathematician by education and businessman by profession. My mother’s name is Nadezhda Petrovna. She is a housewife. She has much work about the house because I have a younger sister. She is a pupil. My sister Natasha is in the fifth form. My grandmother lives with us. She is very kind and helps us a lot.
In May I have left (finished) school. I did well in all the subjects but my favourite subjects at school were Physics and Computer Science. I also enjoyed English lessons. I am very interested in learning English because I always wanted to become a programmer or maybe a businesswoman. I also think that the knowledge of foreign languages helps in everyday life, and career.
Two years ago my parents and I traveled much around Europe as tourists. We have visited France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. There the knowledge of English helped me a lot.
As you see, my biography isn’t very long yet. But we’ll meet again and I’ll tell you more about myself. See you later.
