A pronoun takes the place of the noun. A subject pronoun takes the place of the

subject. We will be learning the subject pronouns in

Spanish.

Verbs in English have to agree with the subject of a sentence. The same is true with verbs in Spanish. This is called subject/verb agreement.

In order to show what subject pronoun goes with what form of the verb we conjugate the verb.
