This document provides examples and explanations for using the pronouns "he", "she", and "it" in simple present tense sentences. It begins by introducing the three pronouns and noting that they are singular and refer to male, female, and objects/animals respectively. Several examples are given of using these pronouns with common verbs like "do", "make", and "have". The rest of the document provides model sentences using these pronouns to describe daily activities and chores. Rules for adding "-s" or "-es" to verbs with third person subjects are also reviewed.

estructura gramatical diferente. En las próximas tres presentaciones nos enfocaremos
a las personas, animales o cosas que correspondan a los pronombres he, she, it, y

o cosa (eso). Aunque cuando queremos a una mascota como parte de la familia y la
“personificamos” nos podemos referir a ella usando he o she según sea el caso (él o
ella, en lugar de eso).
