Nominative pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. Examples:
* I went to the store. (I is the subject)
* She loves to read. (She is the subject)
* They are playing outside. (They are the subject)
To substitute a nominative pronoun, you need to consider the following:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence: Who or what is performing the action?
2. Determine the correct pronoun: Based on the subject, choose the corresponding nominative pronoun:
* I (singular, first person)
* You (singular or plural, second person)
* He/She/It (singular, third person)
* We (plural, first person)
* You (plural, second person)
* They (plural, third person)
Example:
Original sentence: The dog barked at the mailman.
To substitute the subject "the dog" with a nominative pronoun, we need to use the pronoun "it" because "dog" is singular and third person.
New sentence: It barked at the mailman.
Important Note: Nominative pronouns are not interchangeable with other types of pronouns, such as objective or possessive pronouns.
