Examples: Yo hablo español. (habit) · Tú trabajas en una oficina. (fact) · Ella canta muy bien. (state/habit)

Nosotros/Nosotras = We · Ellos/Ellas = They · Ustedes = You all (used throughout Latin America)

In Spanish, the subject pronoun can be omitted because the verb ending indicates the person: "Hablo español" = "Yo hablo español".

Sofía y Roberto son vecinos en un barrio tranquilo. Cada mañana, Sofía camina hasta la panadería y compra pan fresco para el desayuno. Ella siempre saluda a los vecinos y platica unos minutos con ellos. Roberto, en cambio, desayuna rápido porque trabaja en una ferretería y llega temprano todos los días.

Por las tardes, Sofía visita a su mamá y la ayuda en la cocina. Las dos preparan la cena juntas y escuchan música regional mientras cocinan. Roberto, después del trabajo, riega las plantas del jardín y arregla cosas pequeñas en su casa. A veces él platica con Sofía sobre el día y los dos toman café en la banqueta.

Los fines de semana, los dos vecinos organizan actividades para el barrio. Sofía decora el espacio y Roberto carga las sillas y las mesas. Los niños del barrio juegan y los adultos conversan con calma. Todos disfrutan el tiempo juntos porque valoran su comunidad y cuidan su vecindario con mucho orgullo.

Sofía and Roberto are neighbors in a quiet neighborhood. Every morning, Sofía walks to the bakery and buys fresh bread for breakfast. She always greets the neighbors and chats a few minutes with them. Roberto, on the other hand, has breakfast quickly because he works at a hardware store and arrives early every day.

In the afternoons, Sofía visits her mom and helps her in the kitchen. The two of them prepare dinner together and listen to regional music while they cook. Roberto, after work, waters the garden plants and fixes small things around his house. Sometimes he chats with Sofía about the day and they both drink coffee on the sidewalk.

On weekends, both neighbors organize activities for the neighborhood. Sofía decorates the space and Roberto carries the chairs and tables. The neighborhood kids play and the adults chat calmly. Everyone enjoys the time together because they value their community and care for their neighborhood with great pride.
