Subject pronouns In order to use verbs, you will need to learn about subject pronouns. A subject pronoun replaces the name or title of a person or thing and acts as the subject of a verb. In both Spanish and English, subject pronouns are divided into three groups: first person, second person, and third person.

Spanish has two subject pronouns that mean you (singular). Use tú when addressing a friend, a family member, or a child. Use usted to address a person with whom you have a formal or more distant relationship, such as a superior at work, a professor, or a person older than you.

The masculine plural forms nosotros, vosotros, and ellos refer to a group of males or to a group of males and females. The feminine plural forms nosotras, vosotras, and ellas can refer only to groups made up exclusively of females.
