PRONOUNS

In Portuguese, we use instead of personal nouns, personal pronouns to identify the subject of a sentence.The most common personal pronouns are called Pronomes Pessoais do Caso Reto:

English pronouns	Portuguese Pronouns

I	EU
YOU	TU / VOCAS
HE / SHE / IT	ELE /ELA
WE	NA“S (A GENTE)
YOU	VA“S / VOCASS
THEY	ELES / ELAS

*A GENTE is not a pronoun. It’s a popular way of expressing the idea of WE speaking. Although, it expresses the idea of the 1st person plural, the verbs are conjugated as VOCAS, or YOU, in the singular form.
