Subject Pronouns
Subject Pronouns In French, a subject pronoun is immediately or
almost immediately followed by its verb.
The use of subject pronouns is mandatory in French.
Always use a subject pronoun to construct sentences in the absence of a noun subject.

Il and elle besides meaning 'he' and 'she' can both express the meaning 'it' depending on the gender of the noun being replaced.

Non, elle est noire! No, it's black!
