You learnt subject pronouns in Skill 02 — the words that go before verbs (je suis, tu es). Stress pronouns are the same people, but used in three other places: for emphasis (Moi, je suis étudiant), after prepositions (avec moi, chez toi, pour eux), and alone in short answers (— Qui? — Moi.). Most are very close to the subject form. Three change shape: je → moi, tu → toi, ils → eux.
