Footnotes:

1: Boldfaced pronouns in the above chart are only used in poem. These pronouns are also used for God in Bible.

2: Pronouns having * as superscript always precede nouns to which they relate. e.g. In ''I love my country'', my is followed by country because my relates to country.

3: Pronouns having ** as superscript are always preceded by nouns to which with they show relation or possession. e.g. In ''this book is mine'' mine is preceded by book.

It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

I hope you can understand my above table. Is that table correct? If it is, then where would you put ye in that table?

It looks fine to me. Nothing was boldface, but I assume that was the thou, thee line.

"Ye" is only used for certain expressions like "Oh ye of little faith" and you don't really need to worry about it.

Barbara, who answers in American English. My housekeeping skills attest to the truth of the second law of thermodynamics: Left to themselves, things get more and more random!
