  One of the most common causes of errors in identifying the subject of a sentence is confusing it with a noun used as the object of a preposition. This kind of error can also lead to mistakes in subject–verb agreement. To avoid making this type of mistake or confusion, you first must learn to recognize prepositions and prepositional phrases. Prepositions are the short words in our language that show the position or relationship between one word and another.

• ¿Cuál es el tema central de la carta?

  Dear sister,

  This weekend I'm going to look for a new apartment to rent. I'm optimistic that I can find a cheap one. I don’t have to find it soon. However, I would like to find it before the end of summer. I would also like to find an apartment that has a parking garage. I also need an apartment that accepts pets. I don't want to give away my cat. Many landlords don't mind if their tenants have small pets.

  • La persona necesita un tipo particular de apartamento
  • Los departamentos bonitos son difíciles de encontrar
  • Muchos dueños de apartamentos no aceptan gatos
  • La persona tiene que dar sus tres gatos en adopción

• De acuerdo con el texto, some, half, most y all...

  The subject pronouns, like she or it or they, refer to specific, definite persons, places, or things. However, indefinite pronouns do not refer to a specific person or place or to definite things. Indefinite pronouns, such as the words some, half, most, and all, may take either singular or plural verbs, depending on their meaning in the context of the sentence. If these words tell how much of something is meant, the verb is singular; but if they tell how many of something is meant, the verb is plural. Students should not confuse the words with the words each, either, and neither. Those three words always require a singular verb.

  • son conocidos en inglés como pronombres subjetivos
  • siempre van a tener un solo significado contextual
  • funcional igual que each, either and neither
  • pueden aceptar verbos en singular o plural
