@bot Why is it not always necessary to include a subject pronoun before the verb in Spanish? Write your answer in English and give an example in Spanish.

Answer 1

In Spanish, it is not always necessary to include a subject pronoun before the verb because the verb conjugation itself includes information about the subject. This feature is known as subject-verb agreement. Including the subject pronoun is optional since the verb ending already indicates who the subject is.

Example:
English: "I eat."
Spanish: "Como." (literally translates to "I eat")

In this example, the verb "como" already includes the information that the subject is "I". Therefore, including the pronoun "yo" (meaning "I") before the verb is optional as it is already implied by the verb conjugation.
