Any thing is possible if you try. In Japanese if the verb understood you do not need a subject or noun (E.g. I am going = ikimasu) Further more In English (as well as Spanish I believe) "a verb must agree with its subject."

here is an example using "go" as the verb.

In English
Quote:

Person----Singlular ---- Plural

First------- I go------- we go

Second----you go ---- you go

Third -- he/she/it goes--they go


In Japanese

Person -----Singluar----Plural

First------Ikimasu------Ikimasu

Second-- Ikimasu -----Ikimasu

Third---- Ikimasu ----- Ikimasu

I hope that makes sense.
