The structure of a sentence
Sentences always have a subject
What is a subject? Someone or something that is being
described or is doing something.
For example: The dog runs in the park. Sasha is my best friend. He is very funny.
And the same goes for Spanish…
For example: El perro corre en el parque. The dog runs in the park. Sasha es mi mejora amiga. Sasha is my best friend. Él es muy cómico. He is very funny.
Sentences always have a verb
What is a verb? An action word that says what the
subject is doing.
For example: The dog runs in the park. Sasha is my best friend. He is very funny.
And the same goes for Spanish…
For example: El perro corre en el parque. The dog runs in the park. Sasha es mi mejora amiga. Sasha is my best friend. Él es muy cómico. He is very funny.
In both English and Spanish, subjects can be replaced by pronouns
José walks home. → He walks home. José camina a casa. → Él camina a casa.
NOTE: In English, sentences ALWAYS have a subject or a pronoun… but in Spanish, the subject or pronoun can be left out if everyone knows who you are talking about. They may be included for emphasis or clarification.
María is from Spain. She is my friend. María es de España. Es mi amiga.
What are the subject pronouns?

I = Yo We = Nosotros
You (informal) = Tú You all (informal Spain) = Vosotros
He = ÉlShe = EllaYou (formal ) = Usted
They (males) = EllosThey (females) = EllasYou all (formal) = Ustedes
