Learn Spanish Subject Pronouns

In Español, just like in English, we use subject pronouns to talk about people or things without always saying their names. These pronouns help us know who is doing the action in a sentence.

Each pronoun corresponds to a different person or group. 'Yo' means 'I', and it's used when talking about yourself. 'Tú' means 'you', and it's used when talking to someone you know well. 'Él' means 'he', and 'Ella' means 'she'. 'Usted' is a formal way to say 'you', used when talking to someone you respect or don't know well.

'Nosotros' means 'we' and is used when you are part of a group of males or a mixed group. 'Nosotras' is used for a group of females. 'Vosotros' and 'Vosotras' are used in Spain to say 'you all', with 'Vosotras' for all females.

'Ellos' means 'they' for a group of males or a mixed group, and 'Ellas' is for a group of females. 'Ustedes' is used in most Spanish-speaking countries to say 'you all' formally.

It's important to choose the right pronoun based on who you are talking about or to. This helps make your sentences clear and polite.
