MORE ABOUT PRONOUNS
So many people have trouble with the little words – especially those which are used in place
of the noun (person or thing). Those little words are called PRONOUNS. Perhaps the hardest
thing about using them, is that even when the noun is no longer in the sentence, that noun
still controls them – for gender, & singular & plural.
More about that here GENDER CONFUSION!
There are various kinds of pronouns – this explains some of them.
PERSONAL PRONOUNS
We know that when using verbs, we don’t need to say ‘yo’, ‘tú’ etc., but sometimes they can
be used, mostly to emphasise a point. So, we do need to know what they mean. Remember,
there is no word in Spanish for ‘I’, because it’s in the verb! ‘YO’ is often translated as ‘I’, but
that isn’t really correct.
YO
TÚ
ÉL / ELLA
NOSOTROS / NOSOTRAS
VOSOTROS / VOSOTRAS
ELLOS / ELLAS
ME
YOU
HIM / HER
