Can all pronouns be subject pronouns?

No, not all pronouns can be subject pronouns.

Here's why:

* Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence, meaning it performs the action of the verb.

* Examples: I, you, he, she, it, we, they

* Object pronouns are used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition, meaning it receives the action of the verb or is the focus of the preposition.

* Examples: me, you, him, her, it, us, them

* Possessive pronouns show ownership.

* Examples: my, your, his, her, its, our, their

Therefore, only subject pronouns can be used as the subject of a sentence.

Here's an example:

* Correct: He went to the store. (Subject pronoun)

* Incorrect: Him went to the store. (Object pronoun)
