    • Always use a subject pronoun (you, he, etc.) with a verb, e.g.
    It's a school. NOT is a school. They're teachers. NOT Are teachers. Always use
    capital I, e.g. He's Mike and I'm Sally. NOT i'm Sally. With other pronouns only use
    a capital letter when it's the first word
    in a sentence.
    • you = singular and plural.
    • Use he for a man, she for a woman, and it for a thing.
    • Use they for people and things.
    Contractions
    • In contractions '= a missing letter, e.g. 'm = am.
    • We use contractions in conversation and in informal writing, e.g. an
    email to a friend.
