What Do Subject Pronouns Do?

Subject pronouns do the action in a sentence. Take a look at these sentences:

Example

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:

Example

My brother is 7 years old. He is really cute and smart.

Now, let us take a look at more examples:

Example

He is going to the movies.

A:

B:

It's on the third floor.
