Grammar Focus - Subject Pronouns 
 
The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of 
the verb. Subject pronouns are used to replace the subject of a verb to 
avoid repetition. 
 
We don’t normally say: We say: 
 John is tall and John is intelligent.  John is tall and he is intelligent. 
 
More examples: 
 Brazil is a big country. It’s where I live. 
 John and I are students and we are from California. 
 My parents are travelling. They are in San Francisco. 
 
Subject 
Pronoun Person Singular / Plural Gender 
I 1st Singular masculine or feminine 
You 2nd Singular or Plural masculine or feminine 
He 3rd Singular only masculine 
She 3rd Singular only feminine 
It 3rd Singular object / thing / animal 
We 1st Plural masculine or feminine 
They 3rd Plural 
masculine or feminine 
objects / things / animals

use he or she to refer to it.
