a + el = al

de + el = del

Well... technically speaking, there are other contractions, but they are much less used.

Answer 3

Ella es (or) Ella esta - she is. It is impossible to transcribe English contractions into Spanish because the words are different. Maybe if you spent less time cheering and more time studying your textbooks, you wouldn't have had to ask that.

Personally I think it was a legitimate question that doesn't warrant the crass reply. - Yeser007, Aug 31, 2009

Answer 5

Spanish has two different forms of the verb to be, so it depends on what the context of what you were trying to say.

You could say Es, as in Es inteligente-She's intelligent(Where the verb ser describes a character trait)

Or you could say Está, as in Está enferma-She's sick(Where the verb estar describes a temporary state of being).

Usually, the subject pronoun (ella) is omitted unless it is necessary for emphasis or clarity.
