Primo Punto (First Step) SUBJECT PRONOUNS

So guys lets get on the track ..........
Lets start with learning to say........I, you, he, she.........

Io --------- I
tu --------- You(singular)
lui --------- He
lei --------- She
noi -------- We
voi -------- you(plural)
loro ------- They


For helping verbs we have two verbs with us, different forms of these verbs are used with different subjects.

Present tense forms of essere(to be)

sono ---------- I am
sei ------------ you are (singular)
é ------------- he is
é ------------- she is
siamo -------- we have
siete --------- you have (plural)
sono --------- they are

Present tense forms of avere(to have)

ho ----------- I have
hai----------- you have
ha ----------- he has
ha ----------- she has
abbiamo ----- we have
avete -------- you have (plural)
hanno ------- they have

h is silent in all forms of avere above.
I will devise a technique to write here how to pronounce these words, as its very different from english.
