Second person informal and formal pronouns (the T–V distinction), like tu and vous in French. Formal second person pronouns can also signify plurality in many languages. There is no such distinction in standard modern English, though Elizabethan English marked the distinction with thou (singular informal) and you (plural or singular formal). Some dialects of English have developed informal plural second person pronouns, for instance, y'all (Southern American English) and you guys (American English). Inclusive and exclusive first person plural pronouns, which indicate whether or not the audience is included, that is, whether we means "you and I" or "they and I". There is no such distinction in English. Intensive (emphatic) pronouns, which re-emphasize a noun or pronoun that has already been mentioned. English uses the same forms as the reflexive pronouns; for example: I did it myself (contrast reflexive use, I did it to myself). Direct and indirect object pronouns, such as le and lui in French. English uses the same form for both; for example: Mary loves him (direct object); Mary sent him a letter (indirect object). Prepositional pronouns, used after a preposition. English uses ordinary object pronouns here: Mary looked at him. Disjunctive pronouns, used in isolation or in certain other special grammatical contexts, like moi in French. No distinct forms exist in English; for example: Who does this belong to? Me. Strong and weak forms of certain pronouns, found in some languages such as Polish. Pronoun avoidance, where personal pronouns are substituted by titles or kinship terms (particularly common in South-East Asia).
