Subject Pronouns

Welcome to the final project for Spanish Vocabulary! In this project, you're going to pretend that you are applying for an all expenses paid, extended trip (5-7 weeks) to a Spanish-speaking nation of your choice where you will be staying with a native host family. As part of the "application" process, you need to write a 3-part report and produce a recording of you speaking, summarizing the contents of your report. In this module, you will learn all about the format of the course and be provided with an overview of the entire project and all of the milestones. You'll also choose the Spanish-speaking nation you would like to "visit" for the course project.

课程 5（共 5 门，Learn Spanish: Basic Spanish Vocabulary 专项课程）

In this course, we'll imagine that you are applying for an all-expenses paid, educational trip to a Spanish-speaking nation of your choice. You'll introduce yourself to a host family that you'll be staying with, research the rich culture and history of the place you intend to visit and compare it with your own country, and plan out an itinerary of places you plan to see, and things you plan to do and experience while visiting. In addition, you'll summarize the key points of your written report in an oral presentation. This course is challenging and is meant to test everything you've learned in the Spanish Vocabulary specialization. It will provide you an excellent way in which to test what you know and what you still need to work on in your Spanish learning journey.

When we speak and use verbs there's always a point of view for each action,

there's always a subject such as I, you, she, he, it, we, y'all or they.

These are called subject pronouns and they're classified as either being first,

second, or third person, singular or plural.

In English only the third person singular forms he,

she, display what we call gender.

Gender markings are much more prevalent in Spanish as we're going to see right away.

So for the first person, in English we say I, for the singular form.

In Spanish it's yo which comes from the Latin word ego, ego, yo.

But for the plural we have nosotros for a group of men or a mixed group.

And we also have nosotras for a group of women, meaning we.

So we have the forms yo and then nosotros, nosotras.

For the second person, it's a little bit more complicated because

there are informal forms and there are formal forms.

So to say you in Spanish, you use the word tu if it's informal,

you use the word usted if it's formal.

And for the y'all form, you use the form vosotros for a mixed group or

men, and you use the form vosotras for a group of women, y'all.

This form is especially used in Spain, but

most of Latin America uses a formal word, which is ustedes.

Now, for the third person, you have in the singular, he or she, el and ella.

For the plural they, if it's a mixed group or

a group of men, ellos, if it's a group of women, ellas.

Now be advised there's a little wrinkle with the usted form and the ustedes form.

We've already said that it's the second person, you and you all, but these forms,

these words, usted and ustedes, they go with verb forms that are third person.

We're going to do lots of practice.
