#contraction
CONTRACTIONS

Notes:

✏️When a or de precedes the definite article el, the two words combine to form a contraction. That is, two words become one.

a + el = al
de + el = del

✏️A + el is always contracted.

Incorrect:
¿Llevas a el hermano de Raúl?
Correct:
¿Llevas al hermano de Raúl?


✏️De + el is always contracted.

Incorrect:
¿El libro es de el profesor?
Correct:
¿El libro es del profesor?


✏️De + la, de + las, de + los, a + la, a + las, and a + los are never contracted.

🇪🇸 ¿Llevas al hermano de Raúl?
🇬🇧 Are you taking Raul's brother?
🇪🇸 No, llevo a las hermanas de Pilar.
🇬🇧 No, I'm taking Pilar's sisters.
🇪🇸 ¿El libro es del profesor?
🇬🇧 Is the book the profesor's?
🇪🇸 No, el libro es de la profesora.
🇬🇧 No, the book is the profesor's (fem).

✏️Remember the difference between el and él. The pronoun (él) does have a written accent and means "he." The definite article (el) does not have a written accent and means "the."

el libro / the book
él come / he eats

✏️Only the definite article (el) is contracted. The pronoun (él) is not.

🇪🇸 La Casa Blanca es la casa del presidente.
🇬🇧 The White House is the president's house.
🇪🇸 Es la casa de él.
🇬🇧 It's his house.
🇪🇸 A él no le gusta fumar.
🇬🇧 He doesn't like to smoke.
