The personal pronoun is an essential part of Spanish grammar, as it is the way we refer to people in a sentence. Personal pronouns are words like “I”, “you”, “he”, “she”, “we”, and “they” in English. In Spanish, they are “yo”, “tรบ”, “รฉl”, “ella”, “nosotros/nosotras”, “vosotros/vosotras”, “ellos/ellas” and “usted/ustedes”. These pronouns are important to learn and practice because they help to identify who is speaking, who is being spoken to, and who or what is being spoken about. The following exercises will help you practice and master the use of personal pronouns in Spanish.
