in this podcat I will mention five similarities and five differences of pronouns related to both languages . in this case, the similarities are what things that are alike have in common. As an example the pronouns and also the personal pronouns, in English and Spanish, in English we have she, he that is the gender difference, but in Spanish there is also he she, in the plural there is also gender in Spanish but not in English, Why can we say them or they and instead in English no, the pronoun they is for anyone there is similarity if there are personal pronouns in both languages and the difference is that English is not pluralized, the third person plural, and has no gender and instead in Spanish if you have. Personal pronouns can be subjects in both languages.
Pronouns are used to substitute for the noun in both languages.
There are singular and plural pronouns in both languages.
possessive pronouns are used to show possession or ownership in both languages.
Personal pronouns in English and their differences with Spanish
We have already said that in Spanish you can write and speak without using personal pronouns, making yourself understood thanks, for example, to the attributes of the verb. While as you can see in these examples of personal pronouns in English it is not possible to form a correct sentence if the personal pronoun is not used in the subject. for example

dije la verdad / I told de truth.

We go with other differences comparing all personal pronouns in English with Spanish
I Yo
You Tú/Usted
She Ella
He Él
It (para cosas, fenómenos o animales) Ello.
We Nosotros
You Vosotros/Ustedes
They Ellos
En español la equivalencia no es tan exacta.
As you can see, the main differences are that: English does not have pronouns to treat someone of you (formal language is created with conditional verbs and other resources) and that the pronoun it, in Spanish, is hardly used and can be substituted for her or him, as is done with animals.
Another type of pronouns in English to highlight are the demonstratives, which do not follow the logic of the personal ones, since they do not differentiate in feminine, masculine or neuter gender; something that the Castilian language does. We see the example
This Éste/Ésta/Ésto
That Ese/Esa/Eso
These Éstos/Éstas
Those Esos/Esas/Aquellos/Aquellas
Como vemos, el inglés cuenta con tres veces menos pronombres demostrativos que el español.
Possessive pronouns: a bit the opposite
When we talk about the pronouns used to signify belonging, English is again spread out in numbers more than Spanish. However, if we talk about possessive adjectives, English repeats some possessive pronouns. We see:
Possessive adjectives in English Possessive adjectives in Spanish Possessive pronouns in English Possessive pronouns in Spanish
My Mi Mine Mío
Your Tu Yours Tuyo/De usted
His Su (de él) His Suyo (de él)
Her Su (de ella) Hers Suyo (de ella)
Its Su (de ello) Its Suyo (de ello)
Our Nuestro Ours Nuestro
Your Vuestro Yours Vuestro/De ustedes
Their Su Theirs Suyo (de ellos)
This is our car / este es nuestro coche .

Accusative or objective pronouns: English is saved from laísmos, loísmos and leísmos
Possessive pronouns in English, and also possessive adjectives, are used to indicate things that belong to us, that are yours, mine or everyone's. That is, to indicate that something is from a certain person.
Pronombres posesivos en inglés Pronombres posesivos en español Adjetivos posesivos en inglés Adjetivos posesivos en español
Mine .Theirs (El/la) suyo/a, (los/las) suyos/as Their Su, sus (de ellos o ellas)
Solo hay una regla con ellos: Deben utilizarse después de un sustantivo antecedente (nombre , objeto, etc.) Example :
Miguel is sleeping in his room but, I need back my jacket because my parents are coming and their car is fast.
Miguel está durmiendo en su habitación, pero necesito mi chaqueta de vuelta porque mis padres están llegando y su carro es rápido.
In this interview I have a colleague, Juan Carlo
