Subject Pronouns in French

In French, subject pronouns help us show who is doing something in a sentence. Here are the main subject pronouns you need to know:

• je (I)
• tu (you - informal)
• il (he)
• elle (she)
• nous (we)
• vous (you - formal or plural)
• ils (they - masculine or a mixed group)
• elles (they - feminine)

Examples in Sentences

1. With "je":

   • Je parle français. (I speak French.)

2. With "tu":

   • Tu aimes les pommes. (You like apples.)

3. With "il" and "elle":

   • Il mange une pizza. (He eats a pizza.)
   • Elle chante bien. (She sings well.)

4. With "nous":

   • Nous allons au cinéma. (We are going to the cinema.)

5. With "vous":

   • Vous travaillez beaucoup. (You work a lot.)

6. With "ils" and "elles":

   • Ils jouent au football. (They play football.)
   • Elles dansent très bien. (They dance very well.)

Important Note

It's important to match subject pronouns with the verb form you use.

For example, regular verbs like parler (to speak), finir (to finish), and vendre (to sell) change based on these pronouns.

This also goes for common irregular verbs like être (to be) and avoir (to have).

Using the right subject pronoun in conversation helps everyone understand you better.
