THE PRONOUNS
1. PERSONAL PRONOUNS
The personal pronouns fulfill the function of subject of the sentence and are: I , You, She, He,
It, We and They.

To consider:
 I (yo) Is always capitalized.
 In English there isn´t actually a equivalent to the courtesy form "usted" and is always used
"you".
Examples:
- I sing. - He drinks coffee.
Yo canto. Él toma café.

2. OBJECT PRONOUNS
Numerous verbs complement their meaning with an object: me, you, him, her, it, us and
them.

Examples:
Después de un verbo Después de una preposición
I call her every day. The present is for her.
Le llamo (a ella) todos los días. El regalo es para ella.

3. POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES
They serve to indicate the possession of a noun and are: my, your, his, her, its, our, your and
their.
Examples:
My mother is a teacher. Sarah is married. Her husband works with me.
Mi madre es profesora. Sarah está casada. Su esposo trabaja conmigo.

4. POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS
They are formed by adding the letter -s to the corresponding possessive adjective, except for the first
singular person ('mine') and the third singular person ('his') and are: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, yours
and theirs.
Examples:
This bicycle is mine. Their house is similar to ours.
Esta bicicleta es mía. Su casa es similar a la nuestra.

5. REFLEXIVES PRONOUNS
Some verbs in both English and Spanish require a reflexive pronoun when the action falls on the same
person who performs it: myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves and themselves.
Examples:
Save me from myself. Let me introduce herself.
Sálvame de mi mismo/misma. Permíteme presentártela.

6. DEMONSTRATIVE PRONOUNS
this (este, esta, esto), these (estos, estas), that (ese, eso, esa) and those (esos, esas).
Example:
