GENERAL INFO

Elle means "she" or "it" when referring to a feminine singular noun. It is a third-person singular subject pronoun.

USAGE

Use elle before a verb to indicate the subject: *Elle parle français.* (She speaks French.) or *La table, elle est grande.* (The table, it is big.) It can also be a stressed pronoun: *C'est elle qui a gagné.* (It's her who won.)
