Meet ego, tu, nos, vos, quis, and quid as the words for I, you, and who.
What to notice

Explanation
Ego means I. Tu means you, speaking to one person. Nos means we. Vos means you all. The verb ending already tells who acts, so these words add a clear subject.
Quis asks who. Quid asks what. Me and te, meaning me and you as the receiver, can wait. This lesson asks only for the subject words and the two question words.
