What is a "subject pronoun"?
A subject pronoun is a type of pronoun that is used as the subject of a verb in a sentence. Subject pronouns replace specific nouns and indicate who or what is performing the action of the verb. The main subject pronouns in English are "I," "you," "he," "she," "it," "we," and "they." For example, in the sentence "She loves to read," the pronoun "she" acts as the subject of the verb "loves." Similarly, in "They are going to the park," "they" serves as the subject. Understanding subject pronouns is essential for constructing grammatically correct sentences and clearly identifying who is involved in an action.
Examples
A subject pronoun like " I " or " he " replaces the subject noun in a sentence.
" You " is a subject pronoun used when referring to the person or people being spoken to.
