Subject pronouns tell us who does the action and help sentences be clear and short. This guide goes through each subject pronoun with simple examples.
Pronouns
Subject pronouns replace a noun that does the action in a sentence and match in person and number. Here are the basic English subject pronouns.
| English Word(s) | English Word(s) | |
|---|---|---|
| I | they | |
| you (singular) | you (plural) | |
| he | we | |
| she | ||
| it |

Usage
Use subject pronouns when you need to show clearly who does the action or when you want to avoid repeating a name or noun. Sometimes sentences can omit the pronoun if the meaning stays clear.
Special Cases
Some verbs change form depending on the subject pronoun, and in questions or commands the pronoun order can shift or the pronoun can be left out. It's good to notice these patterns with each pronoun.
Summary
Subject pronouns are small words like I, you, he, she, it, we, and they that show who does the action. Practice switching nouns for pronouns to make speaking and writing quicker and clearer.
