Question

2. Why is it not always necessary to include a subject pronoun before the verb in Spanish? Write

your answer in English and give an example in Spanish.

Answer 1

Unlike English, the use of subject pronouns is optional in Spanish. Many dialects of Spanish only use subject pronouns for emphasis or in cases where it is not clear who the subject is.
