Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns are pronouns that take the place of the subject in a sentence. They perform the action in a sentence and answer the question “Who?” or “What?” before the verb.

Subject Pronouns – Exercises

These exercises focus on subject pronouns.

What Are Subject Pronouns?

Subject pronouns are words we use instead of nouns when the pronoun is the subject of a sentence (the person or thing that does the action).

Example:

  • Anna works in a bank.

  • She works in a bank.

The pronoun she replaces the noun Anna.

In English, there are seven main subject pronouns.
