🇬🇧🇪🇸 they - ellos : English Lesson
pronoun
Meaning of "they" ("ellos"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
“They” is a word we use when we talk about more than one person, animal, or thing. Instead of saying every name, we can just say “they.” For example, if Sam, Alex, and Lily are playing, you can say, “They are playing.” We can also use “they” when we don’t know who the person is, or when the person doesn’t want to say if they are a boy or a girl. “They” helps us talk about people, animals, or things without saying a name every time.
