Therefore, I recommended using the subject "tio" to avoid assuming that "vi" is the subject. | |

I strongly suspect, that "it" in "let it be" is such, i.e. it doesn't actually refer to anything, but simply must be there for the sake of the English grammar. Esperanto doesn't have such restrictions, i.e. you can have sentences without a subject. | |
