3. Pronouns • A pronoun is a word that replaces a noun so that you don’t have to be repetitive. • He likes his bike. • It is open. • She prefers French.

4. Subject Pronouns • Subject Pronouns are those words that replace the subject in a sentence. • The boy rides his bike to school. He likes his bike. • The book is on the table. It is open. • Sandrine hates algebra. She prefers French.

5. Subject Pronouns Subject pronouns are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence. You can remember subject pronouns easily by filling in the blank subject space for a simple sentence. Example:______did the job.I, you, he, she, it, we, and they all fit into the blank and are, therefore, subject pronouns.

6. In French, just like in English, a sentence must have a subject and a verb.When studying French, you must understand subject pronouns before you can begin learning how to conjugate verbs, because the forms of verbs change for eachsubject pronoun.
