Pronominal suffixes

Person is glued to nouns, prepositions, and some particles: my, your, his, our.

On nouns

סוּסִי my horse, סוּסוֹ his horse. The noun is in a construct-like state. Singular and plural bases take different suffix vowels. A chart in any first-year grammar is worth drilling.

סוּסִי
susi

my horse

סוּסְךָ
susekha

your (ms) horse

סוּסוֹ
suso

his horse

תּוֹרָתוֹ
torato

his instruction

On prepositions

לִי to me, לְךָ to you, לוֹ to him; בּוֹ in him; אִתּוֹ with him. Some prepositions have special bound forms (עָלַי, אֵלֶיךָ).

לִי
li

to me

לְךָ
lekha

to you (ms)

אִתּוֹ
ito

with him

עָלַי
alai

upon me

On verbs

Object suffixes attach to finite verbs (שְׁמָרַנִי he guarded me). They are a later reading skill; context already tells you the object in many verses.
