Last lesson I spoke about the French pronouns il/elle. Today will talk about the él/ella in Spanish. Remember French and Spanish are both romance languages, they have similar conventions and grammatical structures.
ÉL can be replaced with a masculine singular noun- place, person, or thing
Ella can be replaced with a feminine singular noun-place, person or thing
EXAMPLES: Pablo es Cubano- Él es Cubano, Julio Iglesias es Español, Él es Español, Denzel Washington es Americano- Él es Americano-(Pronouns are used to replace nouns)
EXAMPLES: María es Cubana- Ella es Cubana, Eva es española- Ella es española, Halle Berry es americana- Ella es americana
Again there is no guess work; you need to understand how to use these pronouns because they are used on a daily basis to communicate with people!
