French Personal Pronouns
French personal pronouns (analogous to English personal pronouns, English ''I'', ''you, he/she, we'', and ''they'') reflect the grammatical person, person and grammatical number, number of their referent, and in the case of the third person, its grammatical gender, gender as well (much like the English distinction between ''him'' and ''her'', except that French lacks an inanimate third person pronoun ''it'' or a gender neutral ''they'' and thus draws this distinction among all third person nouns, singular and plural). They also reflect the grammatical relation, role they play in their clause: subject, direct object, indirect object, or other. Personal pronouns display a number of grammatical particularities and complications not found in their English counterparts: some of them can only be used in certain circumstances; some of them change form depending on surrounding words; and their placement is largely unrelated to the placement of the nouns they replace.

Surname
In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family, tribe or community. Practices vary by culture. The family name may be placed at either the start of a person's full name, as the forename, or at the end; the number of surnames given to an individual also varies. As the surname indicates genetic inheritance, all members of a family unit may have identical surnames or there may be variations; for example, a woman might marry and have a child, but later remarry and have another child by a different father, and as such both children could have different surnames. It is common to see two or more words in a surname, such as in compound surnames. Compound surnames can be composed of separate names, such as in traditional Spanish culture, they can be hyphenated together, or may contain prefixes. Using names has been documented in even the oldest historical records. Examples of surnames are documented in the 11 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
