      (I eat apples.)
  2. (You - informal)

    • Example: Tú hablas español.
      (You speak Spanish.)
  3. Él (He)

    • Example: Él tiene un perro.
      (He has a dog.)
  4. Ella (She)

    • Example: Ella trabaja en la escuela.
      (She works at the school.)
  5. Usted (You - formal)

    • Example: Usted es mi profesor.
      (You are my teacher.)
  6. Nosotros/Nosotras (We - masculine/feminine)

    • Example: Nosotros vamos al cine.
      (We go to the movies.)
    • Example: Nosotras estudiamos juntas.
      (We study together - female group.)
  7. Ellos/Ellas (They - masculine/feminine)

      (They play soccer.)
    • Example: Ellas cantan en el coro.

Asking Basic Questions

To ask a question, just switch the subject and the verb:

  • ¿Tú tienes un coche?
    (Do you have a car?)
  • ¿Ellos comen pizza?
    (Do they eat pizza?)

Making Negatives

If you want to say something is not true, put "no" before the verb:

  • Yo no voy al parque.
    (I do not go to the park.)
  • Ella no estudia hoy.
    (She does not study today.)

By knowing these subject pronouns, you can easily make sentences, ask questions, and create negatives in Spanish!
