Subject’s Personal Pronouns
These pronouns are crucial for verb conjugation as they replace the noun forming the subject of the sentence. In Spanish, subject personal pronouns include:
- Yo (I)
- Tú (you, informal singular)
- Él (he), Ella (she), Usted (you, formal singular)
- Nosotros, Nosotras (we)
- Vosotros, Vosotras (you all, informal plural)
- Ellos, Ellas (they), Ustedes (you all, formal plural)
For example:
- Juan habla español (Juan speaks Spanish). I can replace "Juan" with the pronoun "él": Él habla español (He speaks Spanish).
- Los chicos hablan español (The boys speak Spanish). I can replace "los chicos" with "ellos": Ellos hablan español (They speak Spanish).
These pronouns accompany verbs, indicating the grammatical person. Spanish has three grammatical persons for singular and corresponding persons for plural. Some have a feminine form.
