PERSONAL PRONOUNS: REVIEW

1. El pronombre “I” siempre debe estar en mayúscula.

2. El pronombre “YOU” puede ser tanto singular como plural. Si es singular su significado
es “Usted”, “Tú” o “Vos”. Si es plural el significado es “Ustedes”, “Vosotros” o
“Vosotras”. La diferencia entre el singular o el plural la determina el contexto comunicativo.

3. Los pronombres “WE” y “THEY” implican el masculino (Nosotros y Ellos) y también el

femenino (Nosotras y Ellas).

4. Podemos utilizar la palabra “it” para referirnos a un animal o a una cosa, repito “a un
animal” o “a una cosa”, no a dos, ni a tres; es decir, lo utilizamos cuando nos referimos a
singular y no a plural.

 Their baby is very small. It only weighs 2 kilos. (It = the baby.)

We use IT when we talk about the time, weather or temperature.

 It is 30º outside right now. (= the temperature is 30º outside right now)
