In Modern English, we is a plural, first-person pronoun.
== Morphology == In Standard Modern English, we has six distinct shapes for five word forms: we: the nominative (subjective) form us and '''': the accusative (objective; also called the 'oblique'.) form our: the dependent genitive (possessive) form ours: the independent genitive (possessive) form ourselves: the reflexive form There is also a distinct determiner we as in ''we humans aren't perfect, which some people consider to be just an extended use of the pronoun.
