The using of instrumental case to mark persons, with which the action is performed, is also using personal pronouns (я ‘I’, мы ‘we’, ты ‘you’, вы ‘you (could be used for plural)’, он ‘he’, она ‘she’, and они ‘they’). It means, the personal pronouns change based on instrumental case.

Он (He) | С ним (With him) |
Она (She) | С ней (With her) |
Вы (You) | С вами (With you) |
Мы (We) | С нами (With us) |
