The 5 Logics Explained
Subject Pronouns
El Protagonista. Realiza la acción. SIEMPRE va antes del verbo.
Ex: She loves pizza.
Object Pronouns
El Receptor. Recibe la acción. Va DESPUÉS del verbo o de una preposición (for, to, with...).
Ex: Call him. / Come with me.
Possessive Adj.
El Guardaespaldas. Indica posesión pero es tímido: NUNCA va solo. Necesita un sustantivo detrás.
Ex: This is my car.
Possessive Pro.
El Solitario. Indica posesión y es fuerte: va SOLO. Sustituye al sustantivo (para no repetir).
Ex: The car is mine.
Reflexive
El Espejo. La acción rebota. El sujeto y el objeto son la misma persona.
Ex: I cut myself.
