Rules of Using Subject Pronouns

1. Subject of a Sentence: Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence. They perform the action or indicate who or what is doing the action. For example, "He runs fast" or "We are going to the beach." In both sentences, "He" and "We" are subject pronouns.
2. Agreement with the Verb: Subject pronouns must agree in number (singular or plural) with the verb that follows. For example, "She plays the guitar" uses the singular subject pronoun "She" with the singular verb "plays." "They play the guitar" uses the plural subject pronoun "They" with the plural verb "play."
3. First, Second, and Third Person: Subject pronouns are categorized into first person (the speaker), second person (the person being spoken to), and third person (other individuals or things). Examples include:

• First person singular: I
• Second person singular: You
• Third person singular: He, She, It
• First person plural: We
• Second person plural: You
• Third person plural: They

1. Singular vs. Plural: Choose the appropriate subject pronoun (singular or plural) based on the number of individuals or things the pronoun represents. For instance, "He" is singular, while "They" is plural.
2. Gender: English subject pronouns do not indicate gender explicitly, except for "he" (masculine) and "she" (feminine). "It" is used for inanimate objects or gender-neutral situations.
3. Context and Clarity: Use subject pronouns to make sentences more concise and avoid repetition. Ensure that the choice of subject pronoun provides clarity about the subject performing the action.
4. Use "I" as a Subject Pronoun: "I" is always capitalized, regardless of its position in a sentence. For example, "I went to the store" is correct, while "i went to the store" is not.
5. Second Person Plural "You": English uses "you" as the second person plural subject pronoun for both formal and informal situations. There is no separate plural form of "you."
6. Avoid Subject-Verb Agreement Errors: Ensure that subject pronouns match the verb form correctly. For example, "He eat" is incorrect; it should be "He eats."
7. Use "It" for Singular Non-Living Things: When referring to singular non-living objects or concepts, "it" is the appropriate subject pronoun. For example, "It is a sunny day."
