Subject Pronouns Servicio
The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb.
Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb.
We do NOT normally say:
John is tall and John is intelligent.
Saying the word "John" twice is repetitive and does not sound natural.
We replace the Subject (John) that appears the second time with a subject pronoun to avoid repetition
(and in this case to avoid saying the name John again.)
So we would say:
John is tall and he is intelligent.
We replace the second "John" with the Subject Pronoun "He".
Sometimes when we don't know the sex of a baby (we don't know if it is a boy or girl), then we can
use IT.
● Their baby is very small. It only weighs 2 kilos. (It = the baby.)
If we are referring to plural things, objects. animals, or ideas, we don’t use “It” because it’s
singular, we use They because we are talking about plural.
● The books are red. They are on the table.
