How does this work in Spanish?
We use subject pronouns in Spanish too, in just the same way.

Subject pronouns in Spanish:
I = yo We = nosotros/nosotras
You (informal) = tú You all (informal) = vosotros/vosotras
You (formal) = Ud. You all (formal) = Uds.
He = él They (males/mixed) = ellos
She = ella They (females) = ellas

In Spanish, ser (“to be”) has 6 forms, each used with its appropriate
subject pronoun:
