| He | él |
| She | ella |
| We | nosotros/nosotras |
| You (plural/informal) | vosotros/vosotras |

| They (feminine) | ellas |
| You (formal/singular) | usted |
| You (formal/plural) | ustedes |

Now let’s go through each item:

---

1. Marta y ella
→ Two females → ellas

2. Marta y Juan
→ One female + one male → ellos (mixed gender groups use masculine plural)

3. Marta y yo (Graciela)
→ Graciela is speaking → "yo" + Marta → two females → nosotras

4. Usted y yo (¿?)
→ "You (formal)" + "I" → usted y yo → but we need a single pronoun? Wait — actually, the instruction says "write the corresponding subject pronoun", so if it's "you and I", it would be nosotros/nosotras, but since the speaker isn't specified, and "usted" is formal, the pronoun for "you and I" is nosotros (if male speaker) or nosotras (if female). But since no name is given, and "yo" is neutral, we assume nosotros as default unless context specifies. However, often in such cases, the answer is nosotros or nosotras depending on speaker. Since the speaker is unnamed, but likely female based on "yo" being used with "usted", maybe nosotras? But without knowing, nosotros is acceptable. Actually, in Spanish, when combining "yo" and "usted", it's nosotros or nosotras depending on the speaker's gender. But since the speaker is not named, and "yo" is used, we can’t determine. But in many textbooks, they accept nosotros as default. So: nosotros (assuming male speaker) or nosotras (female). But here, perhaps the intended answer is nosotros or nosotras? Let’s see the next clue: "yo" is used with Graciela earlier — so maybe Graciela is female. But here, no name. So safest: nosotros (neutral) or nosotras? Wait — actually, "usted y yo" is a common phrase, and the subject pronoun for "you and I" is nosotros or nosotras depending on speaker. But since the speaker isn't specified, and the worksheet uses "yo" without name, we might assume nosotros as standard. But better to say: nosotros or nosotras? Hmm.

Wait — actually, the question asks for the subject pronoun that replaces the phrase. So "Usted y yo" → nosotros (if speaker is male) or nosotras (if female). Since no gender is given, and "yo" is used, it's ambiguous. But in most educational contexts, they expect nosotros for mixed or unspecified gender. Alternatively, nosotras if the speaker is female. But since it's unclear, perhaps the expected answer is nosotros? Or maybe usted y yo is left as is? No — the instruction says "write the corresponding subject pronoun", so we must choose one.

But note: "usted y yo" does not have a single pronoun form — it's always expressed as "usted y yo" in Spanish. However, sometimes in verb conjugation, it's treated as nosotros (we). For example: "Usted y yo vamos." → "We go." So the subject pronoun is nosotros or nosotras.

So: nosotros (if speaker is male) or nosotras (if female). Since no gender is given, and "yo" is used, perhaps the answer is nosotros as a default.

But wait — in some systems, "usted y yo" is replaced by nosotros regardless of gender? No — that's incorrect. It depends on the speaker.

However, looking at similar exercises, the answer is often nosotros.

Let’s move on and come back.

5. Sancho
→ Male person → él

6. Tú y yo (Mario)
→ Mario is speaking → "tú" + "yo" → nosotros (Mario is male → nosotros)

7. Luisa y Marisela
→ Two females → ellas

8. Tú y tú y tú
→ Three "you"s → plural informal → vosotros (Spain) or ustedes (Latin America). But since this is a general worksheet, and "vosotros" is regional, the safer answer is ustedes. But in Spain, it would be vosotros. Given the source (AR = Arkansas), likely ustedes is expected.

So: ustedes

9. Mariana
→ Female → ella

10. Los estudiantes
→ Masculine plural → ellos

11. La chica y el chico
→ One female + one male → ellos (mixed group → masculine plural)

12. La clase y yo (Sra.)
→ "The class" (plural) + "I" (Mrs.) → teacher is female → so "la clase" is plural → "yo" is female → total: nosotras (since speaker is female)

13. La clase y tú
→ "The class" (plural) + "you" → plural → ustedes (since "la clase" is plural, and "tú" is singular, but together → ustedes)

14. La clase y usted
→ "The class" (plural) + "you" (formal) → plural → ustedes

15. Tú (Rosita) y ella
→ Rosita is female → "you" + "she" → both female → vosotras (Spain) or ustedes (Latin America). Again, likely ustedes is expected.

But "tú" is informal, "ella" is third person → together, the pronoun should reflect the group. Since "tú" is informal, and "ella" is third person, the subject pronoun for "you and her" is ustedes (if using formal) or vosotras (if informal). But "tú" is informal, so vosotras (if both female) or vosotros (if mixed). Here: "tú (Rosita)" → female, "ella" → female → vosotras

But again, depending on region. In the U.S., ustedes is more common. But since "tú" is used, it's informal → vosotras is correct for Spain, but ustedes for Latin America.

Given the source (Arkansas), likely ustedes is expected. But strictly speaking, "tú" implies informal → so vosotras?

But in many American Spanish classes, ustedes is used for both formal and informal plural.

So: ustedes

16. Las estudiantes
→ Feminine plural → ellas

17. El novio
→ Male → él

18. La amiga
→ Female → ella

19. You, my friend
→ Informal → tú

20. You, my principal
→ Formal → usted

✔ Final Answers:

1. ellas
2. ellos
3. nosotras (Graciela is female → "yo" + Marta → both female → nosotras)
4. nosotros or nosotras? → Since speaker is unknown, but "yo" is used, and no gender specified, but in most textbooks, they use nosotros as default. But if we assume the speaker is female (like Graciela), then nosotras. But here, no name. So likely nosotros is expected.
→ nosotros
5. él
6. nosotros (Mario is male → "tú y yo" → nosotros)
7. ellas
8. ustedes (or vosotros — but ustedes is safer for U.S. context)
9. ella
10. ellos
11. ellos
12. nosotras (Sra. is female → "yo" + "la clase" → nosotras)
13. ustedes
14. ustedes
15. ustedes (or vosotras — but ustedes is more likely in U.S. context)
16. ellas
17. él
18. ella
19. tú
20. usted

- Mixed-gender groups use masculine plural (ellos).
- All-female groups use ellas.
- "Yo" + another person → nosotros/nosotras depending on speaker's gender.
- "Tú" + others → ustedes or vosotros — but ustedes is preferred in non-Spanish contexts.
- "Usted" + "yo" → nosotros/nosotras (depending on speaker's gender).
- "La clase" is plural → ellos/ellas/ustedes depending on context.

This worksheet helps students practice identifying the correct subject pronoun for various combinations.
