Pronouns are essential to speaking English but some students do not learn them correctly. To understand what is a pronoun we should understand what is a noun.
A noun names a person, place, thing, animal, or idea. (el sustantivo nombra...)
Examples:
Alex had a party in his house yesterday.
The three nouns are highlighted with orange.
A pronoun renames a noun. (el pronombre renombra al sustantivo)
A noun names a person, place, thing, animal, or idea. (el sustantivo nombra...)
Examples:
Alex had a party in his house yesterday.
The three nouns are highlighted with orange.
A pronoun renames a noun. (el pronombre renombra al sustantivo)
Pronouns used as subjects
I, you, he, she, it, we, they
I, you, he, she, it, we, they
Carlos went to the park => He went to the park
In spanish we do not need to put the pronoun but in English we do:
Es bonita => She is pretty (NOT - Is pretty)
Tienen tres carros => They have three cars (NOT - Have three cars)
In a declarative sentence (not a question) we should follow the following order:
SUBJECT + VERB + COMPLEMENT ( S+V+C)
She plays soccer in the afternoons
I don't like hamburgers
They go to the movies every weekend
All examples include a subect verb and complement. The complement is optional
Notas:
Los personal o subjective pronouns renombran al sujeto, es decir al que hace o realiza la acción. El problema aveces aparece porque muchos traducen palabra por palabra y encuentro demasiados errores del uso de los pronombres personales.
El principal problema es que en español uno puede prescindir del sujeto (se llama sujeto tácito). Ejemplo:
Es muy bonita -- Is very pretty (ERROR) => en ingles es necesario poner el sujeto
She is very pretty (CORRECT)
Trabaja en Peru => She works in Peru
Cocino mi mama el domingo => My mom cooked on Sunday ( El sujeto primero, en español aveces va después del verbo)
Donde estudias (Sujeto tácito "usted") => Where do you study?
