Question on a definition for Subject Pronouns
Hi teachers,
This is a possible definition for subject pronouns:
Subject pronouns are used before a verb to substitute the name of the person or thing that is doing (performing/producing) an action (Robert/He is reading a book) or being something (Robert/He is a bookstore clerk).
How about, 'The book/It is on the table'. I can't say that the book is being something.
What would be the definition for that case?
Thanks in advance.
