Pronombres Personales
Subject Pronouns
Pronouns• In English, we use pronouns every day. Pronouns
are the words that replace nouns in a sentence. • For example, imagine you were telling a story
about your friend Veronica. It might go something like this:
• “Veronica drove to the store. Then, Veronica picked out groceries. Veronica paid $20, then Veronica drove home.”
• What word would you use to replace Veronica?
Pronouns• Subject pronouns answer the question, “WHO.” Who or what is
doing the action in a sentence?
• What other pronouns do you know in English?
• I• You• He• She• It• We • They
Pronouns

• Tú is used to address family and friends. • Usted is used to address elders, strangers or
people of importance. Think of it as being used any time you would use “Miss, Mrs., or Mr.”
