We use a pronoun when we don't want to repeat a noun or a noun phrase.
Subject pronouns
The English subject pronouns are: I, you, he, she, it, we they. (Of course, we use 'you' when we're talking to one person and when we're talking to more than one person.)

- I like London.
- You have eaten the chocolate.
- He plays football.
- She hates mushrooms.
- It was cold.
- We are French.
- They are going home.
In English, we also have object pronouns. These are: me, you, him, her, it, us, them. (Notice that 'it' and 'you' are the same when they're subject pronouns or object pronouns.)
We use the object pronouns in most situations when the pronoun is not the subject of a verb.
