    Subject Pronouns

    What are subject pronouns?

    A subject pronoun, also called subjective or subject personal pronoun, is used as substitute for proper and
    common nouns.

    Examples

    John is a doctor - He is a doctor


    The laptop is on the desk - It is on the desk

    A subject pronoun is used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence.

    Example

    ______ did the job.


    I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank and are, therefore, subject pronouns.

    A subject pronoun indicates:

     number: singular or plural,


     gender: male or female,
     person: first, second or third person.

    Examples

    I (first person singular)

    you (second person singular)

    She (third person singular female)

    He (third person singular male)


    It (third person singular inanimate )

    We (first person plural)

    You (second person plural)

    They (third person plural)

    The words "I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they" are subject pronouns. They refer to a person or thing in speech or in
    writing.
