Subject Pronouns Telling a story gets really boring if you have the same subject in every

sentence. That’s where subject pronouns come in handy; they replace

subject nouns and are separated by three things: Person (1st, 2nd, or 3rd),

gender, and formality (formal or informal).

Subject noun: Juan, Henry, the table, the book, etc.

Subject pronoun: he, she, we, it, etc.

Subject Pronouns Continuó Subject Pronoun Meaning Person Number Gender Formality

yo I 1st Singular N/A N/A

tú you 2nd Singular N/A informal

él/ella/usted he/she/you 3rd Singular M,F,N/A N/A,N/A,formal

nosotros/as we 1st Plural M/F N/A

ellos/ellas/ustedes they/you 3rd Plural M,F,N/A N/A,N/A,formal

Notice: there is no subject pronoun it in Spanish. Él and ella refer to people and sometimes to animals, but not

to things.

The Infinitive and ConjugationsThe infinitive is the unconjugated form of the verb. For example, to be is an infinitive in English. The conjugations are the forms of the verb that belong to a particular pronoun or noun subject.

I am and he is are examples of conjugations of the infinitive to be.

How to tell time in SpanishTo tell the time in Spanish, we use a conjugated form of ser along with a number from 1 to 12.

When we say it is 1:00, we use the form es.

One o’clock : Es la una.

If we want to say that it is any time from 2:00 to 12:00, we say:

Son las (dos/tres/cuatro/etc).

How to Tell Time in SpanishBut what if you want to say that it is 1:30? In Spanish, to say how many minutes have passed, we use one of three combinations:

es + la + una (+ number of minutes) Es la una treinta. It is 1:30.

es + la + una (+ y + number of minutes) Es la una y treinta. It is 1:30.

es + la + una (+ con + number of minutes) Es la una con treinta. It is 1:30.

We use the same rules if we want to say that it is 2:40 or 5:15 and so on.

Son + las (+ hour + number of minutes) Son las cinco veinte. It is 5:20.

Son + las (+ y + hour + number of minutes) Son las cinco y veinte. It is 5:20.

Son + las (+ con + hour + number of minutes) Son las cinco con veinte. It is 5:20.

Summary ● The subject pronouns in Spanish are yo, tú, él, ella, usted, nosotros, nosotras, ellos, ellas, and

ustedes

○ Each subject pronoun corresponds to a certain conjugation of a verb

● In Spanish, unconjugated (unchanged) verbs are called infinitive verbs

● Ser and estar both mean “to be” in Spanish, but they are used differently (we’ll explain in the

next lesson)

● Ser is conjugated as soy, eres, es, somos, and son

● Estar is conjugated as estoy, estás, está, estamos, and están

● To say it is 1:00 in Spanish, we say es la una. The rest of the hours use son las ______.
