  2. My friends and I go to the park on weekends to play basketball.

  3. He always enjoys reading books before bed.

Sentence 1:

  • The subject is "She," a pronoun. The predicate (main verb) is "studies," which is third person singular. The subject "She" is third person singular, so the subject and verb agree.

  • There is no pronoun used to replace the subject, as it is already a pronoun.

Sentence 2:

  • The subject is "My friends and I," a compound subject made up of a noun "friends" and a pronoun "I." The predicate (main verb) is "go," which is in the first person plural form. "My friends and I" is treated as plural, so the subject and verb agree.

  • There is no pronoun used to replace the subject, as it is a compound subject.

Sentence 3:

  • The subject is "He," a pronoun. The predicate (main verb) is "enjoys," which is third person singular. The subject "He" is third person singular, so the subject and verb agree.

  • There is no pronoun used to replace the subject, as it is already a pronoun.
