SUBJECT PRONOUNS
A pronoun
is a word that takes the place of a noun. The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the
action of the verb.
A subject pronoun is
used as the subject of a sentence in place of a person’s or thing’s name or
description, particularly after the subject has already been introduced to
avoid repetition. Subject pronouns
usually come before the main verb.
These are the subject pronouns we use in English:
IT (third singular person) is normally used when we refer to an object, thing, animal or idea (not people). When they are plural we use THEY (third plural person). Examples: The puppy is on the couch. It (the puppy) is so cute. / The puppies are on the couch. They (the puppies) are so cute.
We use IT also when we
talk about the time, weather or temperature.
- It is five o'clock (= the time is five o'clock)
- It is cold today. (= the weather is cold today.)
- It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now)
Examples:
I go to the gym every day. (Myself)
You don’t like pizza. (You)
She/ He eats five pieces of fruit a day. (Mary/ John)
It is cloudy today. (The weather)
We are the champions. (My friends and I)
You should study English every day. (You and your classmates)
They don’t know what I mean. (Sarah, Katie and Robert)
Use a subject pronoun as the subject of each sentence based on the
word(s) in parentheses.
