Don't Say Too Much

Thursday October 30, 2008
Something you may notice early on in your Spanish studies is that Spanish sentences often don't have a subject. For example in a sentence such as "compran muchos productos importados" (they buy many imported products), there's no word for "they." Would it be wrong to include the word ellos for "they"? Not really — but you might sound a bit odd. Today's featured lesson looks at where it is best to leave out subject pronouns such as ellos and where it's best to put them in.
