What is the correct definition for a subject pronoun?

A subject pronoun is a word that replaces a noun as the subject of a sentence or clause.

Here's a breakdown:

* Subject: The person or thing performing the action in the sentence.

* Pronoun: A word that stands in for a noun.

Examples:

* She went to the store. ("She" replaces the noun "Mary" as the subject)

* I love pizza. ("I" replaces the noun "John" as the subject)

* They are playing in the park. ("They" replaces the noun "The children" as the subject)

Subject pronouns in English:

* Singular: I, you, he, she, it

* Plural: We, you, they

Important Note: Subject pronouns are not used as objects of verbs or prepositions. For that, you would use object pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them).
