Subject Pronouns (A1 Grammar)
Subject pronouns are words that replace the names of people, animals, or things. We use them as the subject of a sentence, usually before a verb.
What Are Subject Pronouns?
Instead of repeating a name or noun, we use a subject pronoun.
Sarah is a student. She is 18 years old.
Tom and Jack are friends. They play football.
The book is interesting. It is new.
