rd
clause. In the 3 person, subject pronouns are often used to avoid
repetition of the subject’s name. Examples:

b. You seem upset.
c. Andi is angry, and he wants Tania to apologize.
d. This table is old. It needs to be repainted.
e. We aren’t coming.
f. They don’t like pancakes.

d. Nino received a letter rom her last week.
e. Destin can’t find it.
f. Don’t be angry with us.
g. Tell them to hurry up!
