It's or This is VS. He's, She's
Is there any rule or explanation as to why THIS or IT are used when introducing someone or yourslef (on the phone or face to face) instead of using a personal pronoun?
For example: This is Paul speaking/ It's Paul
Top answer
on the phone This is Paul speaking/ It's Paul introducing someone This is Paul introducing myself I'm Paul All of this seems largely idiomatic to me. Clive
