Subject pronouns
In English, we use personal subject pronouns out of necessity, for nearly all sentences without subject nouns would be incomplete. But in Spanish, such pronouns are used primarily for clarity or emphasis, since a verb alone can be a complete sentence.

Trying to figure out how to conjugate and apply "half open". Is this correct Professor?

Mi esposo Bigwooo dice que duermo con mi boca entreabre.

Is La boca doing the action or would this be "entreabierto" also?

I am horrible at explaining rules of grammer, even in English but I am quite certain that entrabierto is not a verb, but a pronoun.

So it would be:

Mi esposo Bigwooo dice que duermo con mi boca entreabierta

Entreabierto/a is an adjective. La boca entreabierta, el cajon entreabierto

I don't remember reading/hearing entreabrir used as a verb, but just went to an online translator and typed in "El entreabrio la puerta." and it translated as "He half-opened the door."
