In Spanish, subject pronouns are really important. They help us know who is doing something in a sentence. Here are the subject pronouns you need to learn:

• yo (I)
• tú (you, informal, talking to one person)
• él (he)
• ella (she)
• nosotros (we, for a group of boys or a mixed group)
• nosotras (we, for a group of girls)
• vosotros (you all, informal, mostly used in Spain)
• ellos (they, for a group of boys or a mixed group)
• ellas (they, for a group of girls)

How to Use Subject Pronouns in Sentences

In Spanish, sometimes you can leave out the subject pronoun. The verb gives us enough information. Here are some examples:

• (Yo) hablo español. (I speak Spanish.) – You can drop the "yo": Hablo español.
• (Tú) comes pizza. (You eat pizza.) – You can say: Comes pizza.

Asking Simple Questions

To ask questions, switch the order of the subject and the verb.

Example:
