C’est VS. il est (elle est)

C’est VS. Il/Elle est To describe and introduce things or people in French, two common phrases are used: c'est and il/elle est. The plural forms are ce sont and ils/elles sont.

The choice between c'est and il/elle est is not always easy, but there are basic principles which can guide you in the choice. A rule of thumb is that c'est or ce sont are followed by an article and a noun ('le tatou', 'une Américaine', 'mes livres'). Remember that nouns in French have an article before them (le, la, un, une, des, le, ma, mes, ta, etc.). Il/elle est and ils/elles sont are followed by an adjective. (no article)

il/elle est ils/elles sont Use il/elle est or ils/elles sont to introduce the following: + adjective alone Tex? Il est arrogant! Il n'est pas français. Il est américain. Tammy? Elle est gentille. + nationality, occupation, religion Tex? Il est poète. Trey? Il est musicien. Tammy? Elle est étudiante. **Remember that il(s) and elle(s) refer to a specific person or thing. **Ce does not refer to a specific person or thing; it is usually translated as “that.” Il est stupide. (He's stupid.) C'est stupide. (That's stupid.)

C'est and ce sont are followed by the following: c'est/ce sont C'est and ce sont are followed by the following: + noun Tex? C'est un tatou. C'est un Américain. C'est un petit tatou bilingue. Tammy et Tex? Non, ce ne sont pas des chats! Ce sont des tatous. + proper noun C'est Tex. C’est Philippe. + moi, toi Tammy: Allô Tex? C'est moi. Tex: Qui est-ce? Ah, c'est toi, Tammy! + dates Tex: Mon anniversaire? C'est le 14 juillet. C'est jeudi prochain! + adjective for non-specific referents Tex: Ah c'est chouette! C'est incroyable!

Quick recap: C’est/ce sont - more general, meaning this is, that is, these are; used with NOUN. Il est/elle est – more specific; used with ADJECTIVE.
