In Spanish, you can often skip the subject pronouns because the way verbs change lets you know who is doing the action. Let’s break it down by different times or tenses:

Present Tense:

• For regular verbs (like "hablar," which means to speak):

  • Yo hablo (I speak) → Just say: Hablo
  • Tú hablas (You speak) → Just say: Hablas

• For irregular verbs (like "ser," which means to be):

  • Yo soy (I am) → Just say: Soy
  • Él es (He is) → Just say: Es

Preterite vs. Imperfect:

• Preterite (for talking about a completed action):

  • Yo comí (I ate) → Just say: Comí

• Imperfect (for talking about an ongoing action in the past):

  • Yo comía (I was eating) → Just say: Comía

Skipping Subject Pronouns:

• In everyday conversation, people often skip pronouns:
  • "Nosotros vamos" (We go) → Just say: Vamos
  • "Ella corre" (She runs) → Just say: Corre

Wishing and Object Pronouns:

• To talk about wishes:

  • Quiero que tú vengas (I want you to come) → Just say: Quiero que vengas.

• For Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns:

  • Lo veo (I see him/it) → Just say: Veo.
  • Te doy el libro (I give you the book) → Just say: Doy el libro.

By understanding these simple rules, you’ll get better at speaking Spanish!
