Subjects: Pronouns and Nouns

Remember: When forming a sentence, you always have the

choice of connecting the verb to either a pronoun or a noun.

If the subject noun or pronoun is singular,

use a singular verb. If the subject noun or pronoun

is plural, use a plural verb.

He,she, or it can be replaced by a singular noun, and they

by a plural noun. Likewise, a singular noun can be replaced

by he,she, or it, and a plural noun by they.
