Learning Pronouns in Spanish

Learning pronouns in Spanish is a very important part of learning the language.  The Spanish pronouns ( yo (I), tú (you), él/ella (he/she), nosotros (we), and ellos (they)) all have their own meaning and also replace different nouns.  Like English, Spanish pronouns change the conjugation of the verb, however, knowing the pronouns and their meanings can facilitate learning and speaking Spanish. 

Even though there are some similarities between English and Spanish pronouns, there are differences which can present challenges for English speakers.  First, many Spanish pronouns have gender (él vs. ella, nosotros vs. nosotras) and quantity distinctions, which English pronouns don’t always show. Second, the concept of formal vs. informal "you" (tú vs. usted) doesn’t exist in English, so knowing when to use each form can be difficult. These differences require English-speaking learners to adjust their habits and build new patterns of speech.  These patterns will be extremely helpful to form so that students can continue to have a positive learning experience with the Spanish language!
