Subject pronouns The subject of a sentence tells who is doing the action. You often use people’s names as the subject: Gregorio escucha música. Gregory listens to music. Ana canta y baila. Ana sings and dances. You also use subject pronouns (I, you, he, she, we, they) to tell who is doing an action. The subject pronouns replace people’s names: Él escucha música. He listens to music. Ella canta y baila. She sings and dances.

Here are all the subject pronouns in Spanish:

yo I nosotros we (masc., masc./fem.) nosotras we (fem.) tú you (familiar) usted (Ud.) you (formal) vosotros you (masc., masc./fem.) vosotras you (fem.) ustedes (Uds.) you (formal) él he ella she ellos they (masc., masc./fem.) ellas they (fem.)

Tú, usted, ustedes, and vosotros(as) all mean “you.”

. Use tú with family, friends, people your age or younger, and anyone you call by his or her first name. . Use usted with adults you address with a title, such as señor, señora, profesor(a), etc. Usted is usually written as Ud. . In Latin America, use ustedes when speaking to two or more people, regardless of age. Ustedes is usually written as Uds. . In Spain, use vosotros(as) when speaking to two or more people you call tú individually: tú + tú = vosotros(as). Use ustedes when talking to two or more people you call usted individually.

If a group is made up of males only or of both males and females together, use the masculine forms: nosotros, vosotros, ellos.

If a group is all females, use the feminine forms: nosotras, vosotras, ellas.

You can combine a subject pronoun and a name to form a subject.

Alejandro y yo = nosotros Pepe y tú = ustedes Carlos y ella = ellos Lola y ella = ellas

subject pronouns

yo I nosotros we (masc., masc./fem.) nosotras we (fem.) tú you (fam.) usted (Ud.) you (form.) vosotros you (masc., masc./fem.) vosotras you (fem.) ustedes (Uds.) you (form.) él he ella she ellos they (masc., masc./fem.) ellas they (fem.)

You will want to use verbs in ways other than in the infinitive form. To do this, you will drop the -ar ending and make changes.

To create the forms of most -ar verbs, you first drop the -ar from the infinitive, leaving the stem:

hablar → habl-

Then you add the verb endings -o, -as, -a, -amos, -áis, or -an to the stem.

Here are the forms of hablar:

(yo) hablo (nosotros) (nosotras) hablamos (tú) hablas (vosotros) (vosotras) habláis Ud. (él) ella habla Uds. (ellos) (ellas) hablan
