SUBJECT PRONOUNS

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".
