LoginSubject Pronouns For beginners
In this lesson, beginners will learn English Subject Pronouns with simple explanations, clear examples, and exercises to practice understanding.
You: Plural and Singular
'You' is the singular and plural second-person pronoun. It refers to the person or people who is performing the action of the verb.
You are a kind person. (Singular You)
You are my best friends. (Plural You)
Gender of Subject Pronouns
Subject pronouns can refer to a man or boy (masculine), a woman or girl (feminine), or an animal or thing (neutral). Look at the table below:
Third-person Singular Pronouns | |
|---|---|
Man | He → John, David, man, boy |
Woman | She → Mary, Kate, woman, girl |
Non-Human | It → chair, dog, bird, book |
What Do Subject Pronouns Do?
Subject pronouns do the action in a sentence. Take a look at these sentences:
My brother is 7 years old. My brother is really cute. My brother is smart.
The sentences above sound repetitive and awkward. We can fix them by using subject pronouns:
My brother is 7 years old. He is really cute and smart.
Now, let us take a look at more examples:
He is going to the movies.
Where's your office?
It's on the third floor.
