Usage
- Spanish is a pro-drop language, meaning subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending shows who the subject is.
- Pronouns are used for clarity, emphasis, or when the subject is not clear from the context.
- The formal vs. informal distinction (tú vs. usted) is important in social and cultural contexts.
- Masculine forms (nosotros, vosotros, ellos) are used for mixed-gender groups.
Examples
