Personal Pronouns

 

These are not essential in Latin because the verb person is contained in the verb itself e.g. amo=I love.

 

When they are used with a verb it is often for extra emphasis or to point out a contrast e.g. ego clamo sed tu taces=I shout but you are quiet.

 

NB there is no vocative in I and we
