Spanish subject (or personal) pronouns are very similar to English subject pronouns (she, they, etc). However, Spanish has both an informal and formal version of the second person pronoun (tú and usted), where English only has "you".

Also, Spanish is a "pro-drop" language, which means the subject can generally be implied from the verb tense. Thus, use of pronouns is optional and primarily for emphasis or clarification.

él pro adv pre art he; him (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (male singular)
Ella pro she; her (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (female singular)
Ellas pro them (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (female plural)
Ellos pro them (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (male plural)
Nosotras pro we (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (female plural)
Nosotros pro we (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (male plural)

Usted pro you (formal) (Prepositional Object Pronouns) (singular)
