SUBJECT PRONOUNS

SUBJECT PRONOUNS are used to replace people's names.  Technically SUBJECT PRONOUNS are not mandatory in Spanish like they are in English.  As a rule the ending of the conjugated verb lets you know who or what is the subject of the sentence.  You may ALWAYS use subject pronouns if you want.

Following are the Spanish subject pronouns:

 

 

yo I nosotros, nosotras we

you (familiar)
vosotros, vosotras *
'you all'*
usted (Ud.)
you (formal)
ustedes (Uds.)
'you all' (familiar & formal)
él he ellos
they (masculine & mixed)
ella she
ellas
they (girls only!)
