usage - Pronoun “you” can be omitted as subject in imperative form, what other pronouns can be omitted, when and why?

The pronoun you can be omited as a general rule, but sometimes I’ve seen sentences that should have used I or it as the subject but it was omitted.

Answer

In Standard English, the subject can be omitted only in an imperative sentence:

• Go to the store.

Colloquially, you can sometimes sneak by with an implied subject if there’s enough context:

• Got something to say?


• Went home sick — fell asleep immediately.


• Am not!
