    PERSONAL PRONOUMS

    Personal pronoums are those words that are used in the sentence to replace the subject without using his
    name. Los pronombres personales son aquellas palabras que se usan en la oración para reemplazar al
    sujeto sin usar su nombre.

    PERSONAL PRONOMBRE EXAMPLE EJEMPLO


    PRONOUM PERSONAL
    I yo I am ill. Yo estoy enfermo.
    You tú, usted You are tall. Tú eres alto. / Usted es alto.
    He él He is handsome. Él es guapo.
    She ella She is pretty. Ella es guapa.
    It eso, esto (neutro) It is cold today. Hoy hace frío.
    We nosotros We are tired. Nosotros estamos cansados.
    You ustedes You are angry. Ustedes están enfadados.
    They ellos, ellas They are at the cinema. Ellos están en el cine.

    BE CAREFUL

    English clauses always have a subject. La oración en inglés siempre tiene un sujeto.

    His father has just retired. > He was a teacher. (NOT Was a teacher.)
    I'm waiting for my wife. > She is late. (NOT Is late.)

    The imperative, which is used for orders, invitations and requests, is an exception. El imperativo, que se
    utiliza para pedidos, invitaciones y solicitudes, es una excepción:

    Stop!
    Go away.
    Please come to dinner tomorrow.
    Play it again, please.

    If there is no other subject, we use IT or THERE. We call this a dummy subject. Si no hay otro sujeto,
    usamos IT o THERE. A esto lo llamamos sujeto ficticio.

    NEUTER FORM

    English pronouns distinguish between masculine (he), feminine (she) and neutral (it). The personal pronoun
    "it" is used when we refer to things, animals that we do not know their sex or time (calendar and weather).
    The plural form of "it" is "they".

    Los pronombres en inglés distinguen entre masculino (he), femenino (she) y neutro (it). El pronombre
    personal “it” se utiliza cuando nos referimos a cosas, a animales que no sabemos su sexo o al tiempo
    (calendario y meteorológico). La forma plural de “it” es “they”.
