Example:

If we change the nouns to pronouns we get...

There is only one Maria. so...
Maria likes Tom.
Tom isn't the subject.

He likes her.
Tom is the subject of the sentence.
Tom is a man and there is only one Tom. So...
Maria is NOT the subject of the sentence.
Maria is a woman and there is only one Maria here. So...
