Person	Word	Example
I	my	This is my friend.
you	your	Is this your phone?
he	his	Daniel is a student. His cat is Max.
she	her	Jen is my friend. Her apartment is near my apartment.
it	its	The cat is black and white. Its eyes are green.
we	our	Our neighbors are nice.
they	their	Their dog is big.

his is for a man, and her is for a woman: Leo and his parents, Kim and her cookies.

With a name, add 's: Nora's roommate = her roommate. Daniel's cat = his cat.

its (the cat's eyes) and it's (= it is) sound the same, but they are different words. The same with their and they're, and your and you're.
