book Mayra decided to check a forum on a website called "MiTarea . com". After asking her questions she
got several answers she has to analyze before she can take one as correct.
This is the dialogue:

Mayra Hello everyone: Can anyone tell me when we use a "subject pronoun" and when an "object
pronoun"?
sent 2 hours ago
Juan when the noun is in the position of the object and we don´t want to repeat the noun, bye

Miguel when we want to substitute a noun in a sentence. If the noun is before the verb we use the
"subject pronoun". If the noun is after the verb we use the "object pronoun".

Ismy when the noun has the function of a subject and we don´t want to repeat it, oxoxo

Jonás when we want to substitute a noun. If the noun is singular, we use a "subject pronoun"...if the
