When do you use a subject pronoun?

You use a subject pronoun when it is the subject of a sentence or clause. The subject is the person or thing that performs the action of the verb. Here's a breakdown:

Subject Pronouns:

* I

* You

* He

* She

* It

* We

* They

Examples:

* I went to the store. (I is the subject, performing the action of going)

* She is reading a book. (She is the subject, performing the action of reading)

* They are playing in the park. (They are the subject, performing the action of playing)

Key Points to Remember:

* Don't confuse subject pronouns with object pronouns. Object pronouns are used when the pronoun is receiving the action of the verb (e.g., "He gave the book to *me*").

* The subject pronoun usually comes before the verb in a sentence.

* Subject pronouns are often used in sentences that are simple and direct.

Here are some examples of how to use subject pronouns in different types of sentences:

* Declarative sentences: "I am happy to see you."

* Interrogative sentences: "Who is going to the party?"

* Imperative sentences: "You should finish your homework."

* Exclamatory sentences: "He is so talented!"

Practice Tip: If you're unsure whether to use a subject pronoun, try replacing it with a noun. If the noun makes sense in the sentence, then you're likely using the correct pronoun.
