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.
