SUBJECTS AND VERBS

described or doing the action.
 The verb is the action.

described or doing the action.
 The verb is still the action.
Ejemplos:
 Señora
García es mi profesora.
 Ella es de España.

subjects. However, subject pronouns can
replace the noun as the subject.

can be replaced by He in English or Él in
Spanish.
 Julia can be replaced by She in English or Ella in
Spanish.

subject pronoun. However, in Spanish the subject
or subject pronoun can be omitted if everyone
knows who you are talking about.
