ABSTRACT

A pronoun is a word which stands for a noun. In English, instead of saying table we say it. In Spanish, everything is either masculine or feminine, so the table is she (ella) and the book is he (el). The subject is the person who or thing which does the action. Subject pronouns are normally omitted in Spanish. In Spanish, the lo, la, le, los, las and les usually come in front of the verb. However, when there is more than one verb together (for instance, a participle or an infinitive along with the verb), they can be tacked onto the end of the infinitive or participle. They also have to be tacked onto the end of a positive command. This sometimes means that the verb needs an accent to keep the stress in the right place. In Spanish, the indirect object pronoun usually comes in front of the verb.
