Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns are the words we use to replace the name of the person or thing performing an action — "I", "you", "he", "she", "we", "they" in English. Spanish has more subject pronouns than English because it distinguishes between formal and informal address, and between masculine and feminine groups.
