9. Now, decide which pronoun you could use for the following subjects
Now, decide which pronoun you could use for the following subjects. For example: If you are talking about “John,” John would be considered “he.” So in Spanish, you could use the pronoun “él” instead of saying “John.” If you are talking about “the girls,” “the girls” would be considered “they” you would use the pronoun “ellas” because they are more than one, and feminine. See which pronoun you would use for the following subjects:

10. 1. Josefina = __ella_____ 2. Marcos = él 3. Rosa y Lidia= _ellas____ 4
1.Josefina = __ella_____ 2.Marcos = él 3. Rosa y Lidia= _ellas____ 4. Carlos y Manuel = _____ellos____ 5. Juliana y Ramón = ___ellos___ 6. Pedro = ___él_____ 7. I = ____yo___ 8. You = __tú_______
