The subject of a sentence is the person or thing that performs the action of the verb. The subject pronoun replaces this person or thing.
Subject Pronouns | |||
Singular | Plural | ||
1st person | I | we | |
2nd person | you | you | |
3rd person | he she it | they |
Notes:
- In English, unlike some languages, you cannot have a sentence without a subject. I love you. Where is he?
- I is always capitalized, even if it doesn't start the sentence: Where is the book I bought?
- In English, there is only one word for the second person, whether it is singular or plural, familiar or formal, masculine or feminine.*(gender)
- Most English nouns do not have gender. When talking about an object, the word it is used in English. He and she are only used when referring to people and sometimes animals. They is used to refer to more than one person or thing.
