The task is to find the subject pronoun. The sentence is: Tell her that her parents will pick her up.
My thought is that the subject pronoun would be the implied "You" before the word tell. Is that right or wrong? Thanks!
You are right!

In the sentence "Tell her that her parents will pick her up," the subject pronoun is actually not "you."
The subject pronoun in this sentence is "her," which is referring to a third-person singular feminine object.
The word "tell" is the verb in this sentence, and the subject pronoun is the one doing the action of telling. So, in this case, the correct subject pronoun is "her."
In the sentence, "Tell her that her parents will pick her up," the subject pronoun is not explicitly stated. However, the subject pronoun is determined by the verb "tell." In this case, "You" would be the subject pronoun implied before the word "tell." Let me explain how to identify the subject pronoun:
1. Identify the subject of the sentence: In your sentence, the subject is not explicitly stated.
2. Analyze the verb: Look at the verb to determine who is performing the action. In this case, the verb is "tell," which implies that the subject is the one doing the telling.
3. Determine the implied subject pronoun: Since the subject of the sentence is not explicitly stated, we can assume that the subject pronoun is "You," as you correctly suggested.
So, in the sentence "Tell her that her parents will pick her up," the subject pronoun that can be implied is "You."
