Subject Pronouns: I, You, He, She, It, We, They
Grammar Focus
Subject pronouns — это личные местоимения, которые используются в роли подлежащего и показывают, кто выполняет действие в предложении. В английском языке подлежащее всегда должно быть выражено, поэтому такие местоимения используются постоянно.
Основные местоимения-подлежащие:
I — я
You — ты / вы
He — он (о человеке мужского пола)
She — она (о человеке женского пола)
It — он / она / оно (о предметах, животных, явлениях)
We — мы
They — они
Эти местоимения стоят в начале предложения, перед глаголом.
Примеры:
I work in an office. — Я работаю в офисе.
You live near here. — Ты живёшь рядом.
He plays football. — Он играет в футбол.
She likes music. — Она любит музыку.
We study English. — Мы изучаем английский.
They have a small house. — У них есть маленький дом.
Использование it
Местоимение it используется в нескольких случаях.
Для предметов:
The phone is new. It is very expensive.
Для животных, если пол не важен:
I see a cat. It is very small.
Для погоды, времени и температуры:
It is cold today. — Сегодня холодно.
It is five o’clock. — Сейчас пять часов.
В таких предложениях it не переводится дословно, но обязательно используется в английском.
Замена существительных местоимениями
Чтобы не повторять одно и то же слово, существительное часто заменяется местоимением.
Anna is a teacher. She works in a school.
My friends live nearby. They visit me often.
Это делает речь более естественной и понятной.
