Hola bestgirl ¡Bienvenida a SpanishDict!

Welcome to SpanishDict!

Que is not the same as "ella."

"Come" is the third person singular present indicative conjugation of "comer." I know that might not mean anything to you if you are new to learning languages, so let me put it to you this way. "Como" means "I eat," "comes" means informally "you eat" and "come" means formally "you eat" or "she/he/it eats."

"Come" here doesn't not require ella to imply that "ella" is is the one who eats.

In this case we have

"Ella come una manzana" meaning "she eats an apple"

and "que come una manzana" holds a different type of meaning. If it is in a sentence you'll know what the meaning is. Other times the initial part of the sentence is implied. In all of these cases "que" means "that."

For example:

"He dicho que come una manzana" = "I have said that she eats an apple."

However if there is nothing said before "que" then we have an implied statement which could mean a number of things.

"Que come una manzana" = "[I'm telling you] that she eats an apple."

It may not be "I'm telling you" it could be "I've seen" or "I heard" or "I know" or any number of things.


There are cases where que is part of a construction that does refer to "ella" or "él." In these cases it means something along the lines of "the one that."

Que and pronouns:

El que means "he that" or "it that." La que means "she that" or "it that." Lo que means "it that." (You'll need to learn when "lo" is used to understand when it is better to use "lo que" rather than "el/la que.")

No. Él means he, ella means she, and qué/que means what or that.

Welcome to the forum. You might want to try some of the lessons here. They're pretty good.

Even if you meant:

ella come una manzana

and

ella que come una manzana...

They do not have the same meaning.
