2. Pronouns are words we use
in the place of a full noun.
SUBJECT PRONOUNS
Singular Plural
1st person I We
2nd person You You
3rd person He/ She/ It They
3. Rules
We use HE to refer to men, and SHE to refer to women.
When we are not sure if we are talking about a man or
a woman we use THEY.
This is Jack. He’s my brother.
This is Angela. She’s my sister..
You could go to a doctor. They might help you.
4. We use subject pronouns as subject of the
verb:
I like your dress.
You are late.
He is my friend
It is raining
She is on holiday
We live in England.
They come from London.
5. Warning:
English clauses always have a subject:
His father has just retired. Was a teacher. > He was a
teacher.
I’m waiting for my wife. Is late. > She is late.
Always write I with a capital letter.
NOT Emily and i are fourteen.
If there is no other subject we use IT or THERE. We call
this a dummy subject.
