Why is it not always necessary to include a subject pronoun before the verb in Spanish? Write your answer in English and a example in Spanish.
In Spanish, the conjugation of the verb already indicates who the subject is, making the subject pronoun optional. This is because the endings of the verbs often differ, depending on the subject. When the context or previous sentence clearly refers to the subject, the pronoun can be omitted to avoid redundancy.
For example, instead of saying "yo voy al cine" (I go to the movies), one can simply say "voy al cine" because the verb "voy" already indicates the subject "yo" (I).
Another example is "él come una manzana" (he eats an apple) which can be simplified to "come una manzana" because the verb "come" indicates the subject "él" (he).
