Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns are words that replace nouns as the subject of a sentence. They show who or what does the action. Subject pronouns come before the main verb in a simple sentence.

English has seven subject pronouns. We use them for the speaker, the listener, people, animals, and things.

Some subject pronouns are singular, and some are plural. Singular means one. Plural means more than one.

Subject pronouns show who does the action in a sentence. I and we show the speaker. You shows the listener. He, she, it, and they show another person, animal, thing, or idea.

A subject pronoun usually comes before the main verb in a simple sentence. It takes the place of the noun that does the action. This position shows the subject clearly.

You can now identify subject pronouns and use them as the subject of a sentence. You can choose I, you, he, she, it, we, or they to replace nouns. You can also place the subject pronoun before the main verb in a simple sentence.
