Dear Everyone,

Could you, please, mention PIE features for me that are still present in PdE? Which haven’t changed?

Thank you in advance.

They've all changed, as far as we know.  Actually, all of PIE is hypothetical, a reconstruction.

English retains the singular and plural for nouns but has lost the dual, and retains the first and second person distinction in pronouns. Third person pronouns were a later development. This might be a good place to start:
