    Subject and Object pronouns are important to communicate in English. The pronouns help us to replace nouns and avoid repeting people's names or other nouns unnecessarily. 
It is well known that the use of pronouns can be confusing... but just at the beginning; if you practice a lot, you can master them.
 Here we have a summary of Subject and Object pronouns

Subject pronouns are exactly what they sound like, they replace the subject in a sentence. For that reason, it is essential to identify the subject correctly to replace it when it is necessary. 
Object pronouns try to replace the object in the sentence, or what is being done to, from, or with the action.
If you have doubts about the pronouns, let's pay attention to the following video:

Now that you listen to the explanation, let's complete the following exercise about the pronouns

Let's speak English confidently!!!

Sometimes it is not easy to speak English in a confident way in front of your classmates or just other people... so, here there are some advices for you.

Activities to improve your confidence:

1. Talk in front of a mirror everyday for just few minutes; this can help you to know the way you look when speaking English. People around may think you are crazy, but it is ok because you are practicing and improving.
2. Practice and talk to a different person everyday for a complete week. It can be a teacher or a new classmate. Why not talking to the native speaker volunteer working at your school? Or the old lady living next your house? If they speak English, just do it!
3. English day! Try  just to use English language to communicate in a day... it can be interesting or bring you some funny situations, who knows?
And remember, 
practice, practice, practice and have fun!
