What are subject pronouns?
A subject pronoun, also called subjective or subject personal pronoun, is used as substitute for proper and common
nouns.
Examples
John is a doctor - He is a doctor
The laptop is on the desk - It is on the desk
The laptop is on the desk - It is on the desk
A subject pronoun is used when the pronoun is the subject of the
sentence.
Example
______ did the job.
I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank and are, therefore, subject pronouns.
I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank and are, therefore, subject pronouns.
A subject pronoun indicates:
·
number: singular or
plural,
·
gender: male or female,
·
person: first, second or
third person.
Examples
I (first person singular)
you (second person singular)
She (third person singular female)
He (third person singular male)
It (third person singular inanimate )
We (first person plural)
You (second person plural)
They (third person plural)
The words "I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they" are subject pronouns. They refer to a
person or thing in speech or in writing.
