A noun is the name of a person, place or thing. A pronoun takes the place of a noun. The case forms of pronouns are nominative, objective and possessive:( I, you, he/she/it) and (me, you, him/her/it) and (my/mine, your/yours/, his/her/hers/its) respectively. The plural forms are (we, you, they) and (us, you, them) and (our/ours, your/yours, their/theirs.)
Don't worry about the distinctions for the sake of grammatical integrity alone. What is relevant here is the application of the pronouns to your very self, in real life, real time. The delineating factor is when you fade out of the category of we, us and ours and into the bracket of they, them and theirs. The shift from 1st person to 3rd person, while gradual, is also inexorable. Take note.
