SER AND SUBJECT PRONOUNS
SUBJECT PRONOUNS A subject pronoun replaces the noun that is doing the action of a verb.
SUBJECT PRONOUNS For example: Señora Darling is my Spanish teacher. Señora Darling is very silly. Señora Darling loves dancing to Bachata! In these sentences we can replace “Señora Darling” with “She” since we know who we are talking about and who is doing the action. “She” is a subject pronoun.
