| Subject Pronouns: Definition
|
| Subject pronouns are divided into singular and plural types. Singular pronouns, (I, you, he, and she) describe only one person, while plural subject pronouns, (we and they,) describe groups of people. In spanish, there are also ways of addressing 'you' and groups of people ('you all') in formal ways, using 'usted' for formal 'you,' and 'ustedes' for formal 'you all.'

Regular Verbs: Present Tense
|
| Description
|
In Spanish, verbs are conjugated depending on the subject pronoun associated with the action. Here, we will focus on present tense, regular verb conjugations.
Verbs in Spanish generally have 3 different ending types:
*Verbs that end in -AR
*Verbs that en in -ER
*Verbs that end in -IR
To use these verbs with subject pronouns, you generally replace the verb ending with the corresponding subject pronoun ending.
