PERSONAL PRONOUNS

ele/ela para objetos e animais.
nós

eles/elas
O pronome pessoal “I” (eu) é sempre escrito com letra (i) maiúscula, não importando sua posição na
frase (início, meio ou fim).
O pronome “you” é tanto usado para a segunda pessoa do singular (você ou tu) como para a segunda
pessoa do plural (vocês ou vós). O contexto e, principalmente, o substantivo (singular ou plural) indicará
a pessoa correta. Ex: You are a doctor. – You are doctors.
“They” é usado para pessoas e objetos no plural.
O “it” é usado apenas para se referir a animais, objetos, e coisas em geral.
Em inglês não há omissão de sujeito como acontece em português. No caso de sujeito inexistente,
oculto ou indeterminado usa-se it, we or they. Ex:
Falamos português no Brasil.
Chove muito no verão.
We speak Portuguese in Brazil.
It rains a lot in the summer.
