Subject pronouns, direct object pronouns, indirect object pronouns, reflexives—students very often end up with a “mish mash” of pronouns, trying to use se to mean he, me as a subject pronoun, and so on. The special grammar supplements here are meant to help give students a greater understanding of pronouns than they would have with typical textbook presentations.  \nI. Subject pronouns  \nA. The notion of “subject” is a grammatical notion and refers to the relationship between a noun (boy, John, dogs), or a noun “phrase”(the boy, the happy boy, all of those dogs), and a verb. Generally, the subject answers the question Who or What VERBs? or Who or What is VERBing?as in Who or What eats? Who or What is looking?  \nThe man is smiling. Who is smiling? The man. (So, the man = subject.)  \nThe green houses are for sale. What is for sale? The green houses.  \n(So, The green houses = subject.)  \nB. A pronoun refers to a small word that stands in place of a noun or noun phrase, especially when the speakers already know who or what is being talked about. Let’s take the example, John is a responsible student. He studies every day. In the second sentence, he is a pronoun that stands for John, who is already mentioned in the sentence before. Pronouns are used to avoid redundancy. Look how awkward the following would be spoken aloud: Jaime knows a lot about wines. Jaime drinks them all the time. Jaime lived in Napa and Jaime has also worked in a winery. We use the subject pronoun he to avoid the repetition.  \nC. The subject pronouns that stand for other nouns in English are he, she, it, and they.  \nCORRESPONDING  \nSAMPLE SUBJECTS SUBJECT PRONOUN  \nJohn, the boy, the dog, Mr. Smith Mary, my aunt, the ugly witch the book, the time, the big white house John and Mary, the kids, the big dogs  \nhe  \nshe  \nit  \nthey  \nWe also call I, you, and we subject pronouns because they stand for us. For example, if your name is Bill you don’t say, Bill went to the store yesterday. You say, I went to the store yesterday. If you are talking to your friend Sally, you don’t say, Does Sally want to come? You say, Do you want to come? So, in a sense, these pronouns stand for names of people who are involved in the conversation. The entire set of subject pronouns in English then are the following, along with their Spanish equivalents.  \nI  \nyou  \nyou he, she  \nyo  \ntú  \nusted (Ud.)él, ella  \nwe  \nyou  \nyou  \nthey  \nnosotros/as vosotros/asustedes (Uds.) ellos/ellas  \nAppendix 1: The Spanish Pronoun System 337  \nThe English pronoun it does not have a Spanish equivalent; no pronoun is used in sentences such asthe following.  \nEste libro es bueno, pero cuesta mucho.  \nThis book is good, but it costs a lot.  \nIn the sentence, the verb cuesta includes the idea of it as a subject.  \nD. Remember that subject pronouns in general are omitted in Spanish when the person or thing referred to is clearly understood.  \nHablo español.  \nJaime es bilingüe: hablainglés y español.  \n(No need to add yo because the verb form hablo tells us who speaks Spanish.)  \n(No need to add él. The verb form habla encodes that information as well as ella and usted. However the context of the sentence makes it clear that Jaime/él is the only logical subject.)  \nE. Self-test on Subject Pronouns  \n1. Using the question Who or What VERBs? or Who or What is VERBing? determine the subject of each sentence.  \na. Michael has a cold.  \nb. Amy and John have broken up.  \nc. Two big brown dogs attacked a man on the street.  \nd. I refuse to believe you.  \n2. Continue each “story” using the correct subject pronoun.  \na. Michael has a cold.   took some medicine and now   feels better.  \nb. Amy and John have broken up.   are not speaking to each other.  \nc. Two big brown dogs attacked a man on the street.   mauled him in front of witnesses.  \nd. I refuse to believe you.   am not that ","cbCaijdIJvvLvBwU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijdIJvvLvBwU","pdf",153542,22,"English","# The Spanish Pronoun System\n## Subject pronouns\n## Direct objects and direct object pronouns\n## Self-test on subject pronouns","[{\"question\":\"What is the grammatical way to identify the subject in a sentence?\",\"answer\":\"Use the question “Who or What VERBs?” or “Who or What is VERBing?” The answer to the question is the subject.\"},{\"question\":\"How do Spanish subject pronouns differ from English usage?\",\"answer\":\"Subject pronouns are generally omitted in Spanish when the person or thing is clearly understood from the verb form or context.\"},{\"question\":\"How do you identify a direct object instead of a subject?\",\"answer\":\"Ask “Who or What is VERBed?” or “Who or What is being VERBed?” The answer is the direct object.\"}]","Appendix 1 - The Spanish Pronoun System | PDF",1791858685]
