Another problem I have here is with the explanations in the lesson. It says that when talking about SOMETHING SPECIFIC, you should use elle/il. But then there's this example: Qui est Sylvie ? - C'est ma sœur.
I would think that here we are talking about a very specific Sylvie, and not just some Sylvie. Then why do we say c'est instead of elle?
Hi Arndis, if you look again at the lesson you'll see it's divided into 2 parts.
1. c'est in sentences it/he/she is + a/the/my... + [thing/people]
