Salvete,
I’m wondering when to use pronouns in Latin because LLPSI seems to use them on and off. In Capitulum Tertium, it says, “Julius eum non audit, quia dormit”, the masculine nominative singular pronoun is missing from “quia dormit”, or "Quintus respondet: ‘Julia plorat, quia Marcus eam pulsat.’ ", in this the feminine accusative singular pronoun is used.
Or, "Marcus: ‘Pater dormit neque te audit’ ".
The book hasn’t introduced nominative pronouns yet, but I know they exist, so when do I use or omit pronouns?
Salvete,
Forgot to add that nouns are also sometimes dropped, " Quintus: ‘Marcum verberat, quia puer improbus est’ ", when is the omission of nouns supposed to happen?
In the nominative, pronouns are generally used for emphasis, to clarify the subject, and to denote a change in subject. In the other cases, pronouns are mostly used in the same way as nouns. That being said, when the preposition cum is used to mean with, it is added to the ablative form of first and second person pronouns as a suffix, e.g. mecum, tecum.
