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

The verb estar
• Irregular verbs do not follow the same pattern as regular verbs.
• Estar (to be) is irregular. Its yo form (estoy) is different from the regular -ar yo form. Its tú, usted/él/ella, and ustedes/ellos/ellas forms are different because they have an accent on the a: estás, está, están.
• Here are the forms of estar:

Use estar to tell how someone feels or where someone or something is located.

(yo) estoy (nosotros) (nosotras) estamos tú estás vosotros vosotras estáis Ud. (él) (ella) está Uds. (ellos) (ellas) están

• Estar is used to tell how someone feels or to give a location.
