2 Sentence Structure In English and Spanish: –Every sentence needs a subject and a verb. The verb is the action of the sentence. The subject is the one completing the action of your sentence. (The doer) Example: Joe is from Mexico. (S)(V) The subject can often be replaced with a subject pronoun. Example: He is from Mexico. (SP)(V)

3 Subject Pronouns Used to discuss people. Replace proper nouns. Use frequently in English. English examples: –I– We –You– They –He/she/it

6 Verbos Every sentence needs a subject and a conjugated verb. When you conjugate a verb you give it tense (present, past, future) and form (alignment with the subject). Infinitives (unconjugated verbs) only give you a verb ’ s meaning, not form.

(SP)(V) (Nosotros) somos de Chicago. = We are from Chicago. Use subjects/subject pronouns to emphasize or clarify the subject. (Clarification is most often needed for the el/ella/ud. and ellos/ellas/uds. forms. “ Es ” can mean: he is; she is; you are; it is. “ Son ” can mean they are; you all are.) ¿De dónde es? ¿De dónde es él? ¿De dónde es ud.? ¿De dónde es Fernando?
