Unit 7: Asking Questions and Getting Information 401

When Leaving Out the Subject Is Okay

Remember that in Spanish the subject is often left out if it isclear about whom they are speaking.

Example: Como mucho. I eat a lot.

The -o at the end of the verb can only match yo , so you can only be talkingabout I .

This is especially true when the subjects are yo , t , and nosotros , since theydo not share an ending with any other subject.

Lets practice saying the verb comerand then writing some of the other -erverbs.
