Subject Pronouns and
Regular –AR Verb
Conjugation
The most important
grammar presentation
you will have this school
year.
First, let’s talk about the subjects.
• Subjects are the person or thing in the
sentence that performs the action (verb).
• Without a subject, you do not have a
complete sentence.
• Subjects come in two forms: singular (one
person or thing) and plural (more than one
person or thing).
Before we get started, make
sure that you have TWO
DIFFERENT COLORS for the
rest of the presentation and
that you use the same two
colors for today and
tomorrow.
I
WE
YOU (familiar) YOU ALL
(used in Spain)
YOU (polite) YOU ALL
HE
THEY
SHE
Now open the doors!
We are going to be writing on
the backs of the doors, not on
the solid part in the middle.
Yo
Tú
Usted (Ud.)
Él
Ella
Make sure you draw a
dotted line on the inside
of the door, but NOT on
the solid part in the
middle.
Nosotros
Nosotras
Vosotros
Vosotras
Ustedes (Uds.)
Make sure you draw
a dotted line on the
inside of the door,
but NOT on the

So… what do you remember?
• What is the subject of a sentence?
• Subjects come in ____ form and ____ form.

conjugation box.
• How do you say “you” when addressing an
authority figure?

But a subject is only part of a
complete sentence!
