SUBJECTS AND VERBS

All sentences have a subject and a verb.

subject is the person, place, or thing being
described or doing the action.
 The verb is the action.

García is my teacher.
 She is from Spain.
 She runs.

Spanish sentences also have a subject and a
verb.

subject is still the person, place, or thing being
described or doing the action.
 The verb is still the action.
Ejemplos:
 Señora
García es mi profesora.
 Ella es de España.

English and Spanish sentences use nouns as
subjects. However, subject pronouns can
replace the noun as the subject.
 Juan
can be replaced by He in English or Él in
Spanish.
 Julia can be replaced by She in English or Ella in
Spanish.
SUBJECTS AND VERBS
English sentences will ALWAYS have a subject or a
subject pronoun. However, in Spanish the subject
or subject pronoun can be omitted if everyone
knows who you are talking about.
