Is the subject pronoun 'yo' necessary in this sentence?
"Este fin de semana, quiero quedarme en casa y leer una novela. Tengo muchos libros, pero no tengo suficiente tiempo para leer todos. Quiero leer "Un Pasaje a la India" de E.M Forster. Yo también quiero pasar tiempo con mi familia. Me gusta ver telenovelas estadounidenses con mi madre y mi hermano. Prefiero leer a ver telenovelas, pero telenovelas son más relajantes."
Is the 'yo' in red necessary? Can I remove it from my sentence? |

You do not need to use "yo" in that sentence. "Yo" is already the clearly established topic of the discourse. You would need a subject pronoun if you were changing topics.
One other comment: You said: "telenovelas son más relajantes". Much better to say: "Las telenovelas son mucho más relajantes". Last edited by Rusty; February 02, 2012 at 08:57 PM. Reason: removed misleading correction |
