Example 48-22
Ele fue.
It was he/she/they.
Spanish: Fue él/ella.
- Comment:
- This expession normally means 'it is he/she', but on rare occasions it also means 'it is they'. See the etymological explanation that accompanies this entry.
Special note: contrary to what readers familiar with Spanish may think, in this example fue is not (necessarily) past. Fue often has a "present" meaning.
