What this grammar point covers

Subject pronouns replace names at the start of a sentence and connect to verbs like ser, estar, and tener. In Spanish, they are often omitted because the verb form shows the subject.

When to use it

Use subject pronouns for clarity or emphasis, or when the subject is not clear from context.

Key forms

  • yo
  • tú
  • él
  • ella
  • nosotros/nosotras
  • vosotros/vosotras
  • ellos
  • ellas

Examples

Yo estoy cansado.

English: I am tired.

Ellos son amigos.

English: They are friends.

Él no sabe.

English: He does not know.

Hace frío.

English: It is cold.

Tips

  • Spanish often drops the subject pronoun unless needed for clarity.
  • Use 'ello' or impersonal forms for things, weather, or general situations.
  • Match pronouns with correct verb forms: él es, ellos son.
