What are the function of nominative pronouns?

Nominative pronouns, also known as subject pronouns, have a primary function: they act as the subject of a verb. This means they perform the action described by the verb.

Here's a breakdown:

* Identify the doer of the action: They tell us who or what is doing something.

* Position in a sentence: They typically appear at the beginning of a sentence or clause.

* Examples:

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

* He loves to read. (He is the subject, performing the action of loving)

* We are going to the beach. (We is the subject, performing the action of going)

* She is a talented artist. (She is the subject, being described as a talented artist)

* It is raining outside. (It is the subject, performing the action of raining)

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

Important Note: It's easy to confuse nominative pronouns with objective pronouns, which are used as objects of verbs or prepositions. While nominative pronouns are the subjects performing the action, objective pronouns receive the action.
