Personal (Subject) Pronouns in English

Good afternoon.
Here we go with the first video of the “Course"This is so that you can get the certification you need in English once and for all.

What follows is a transcript of the introduction to the topic I talk about in the video, so if you're going to watch the full video, you can skip the reading. ????

By the way: remember that:
(1) Although you can of course do this on your mobile or tablet, it is best to do it on a PC to get the most out of it.
(2) My personal advice: before you start with this, install the ImTranslator Add-On, so that with one click you can have an instant translation of words or phrases that you don't know. We know each other: if you have to stop every three seconds to look up a word, after 5 minutes you'll be frustrated and that's it.
So first things first: install it NOW and then get started. This way we avoid any hassle later. ????


1st. See the video

Let's get them!

2nd. Take a closer look at the pages of theory, if you see that you need it. If not, you can go straight to the practice:
a. THEORY – https://www.shertonenglish.com/es/gramatica/pronombres/pronombres-personales
b. THEORY to expand – https://english.lingolia.com/es/gramatica/pronombres/pronombres-personales

3rd. You do the practice exercises, in the order in which I give them to you:
3rd. PRACTICE 1 – https://aprenderinglesgo.com/ejercicios-pronombres-personales-ingles-2266
3b. PRACTICE 2 – https://www.estudiogramatica.com/ejercicios-ingles/ejercicio-1-pronombres-personales.php

4th. You congratulate yourselves and celebrate yourselves for having invested the time to see this and to learn English. We are on the right track!!


That said, I'm moving on. Some things I say in the video, others I don't.

As I have already mentioned on a few occasions, I am not going to invent the Spanish omelette. I will use other people's resources, things that are already online to explain the theory, and I will also redirect you to other people's pages for practice.
I insist: I am not part of any affiliate program or anything like that. I think we can all benefit from the resources we have today, without having to step on heads, or go around saying “I am better than…”.
As the motto of my favorite authors group goes, “a rising tide lifts all boats.”

By the way, take a look at those pages that I use as an example, because they are great - it's not that I have taken the first result that pops up in the search for Ecosia, but it is Curated contentCurated content, that is: carefully selected and refined content. Curatorship, which is said in art - as when one speaks of curator of an exhibition, for example, who is the person in charge of selecting the material to be displayed. Well, the same here.

You will see that I mix several things at once, such as grammar, pronunciation, cultural notes, etc. This is because my idea is to do this the same way I do my classes.
You have to understand that we cannot learn a language just by looking at grammar, or vocabulary, to name two things. We have to look at the context in which language is produced, and it is clear that language is a cultural product, so if I think there are cultural notes that may be relevant to you, I will mention them. In other cases, also because there are mistakes that can cost you a couple of teeth if you are speaking with natives, for example. ????
I am one of those who think that language determines thought (this is a long story I will tell you about another time), so I will emphasize how the choice of one term or another tells us a lot about the hidden intentions of the speaker. This is a topic that fascinates me, so if you see that I am rambling on too much in a video or an explanation, stop me before your ears bleed.
Enjoy your meal!!
Come and Read.
