Hi all!
Quick question... Why is it that when I ask a question like ¿qué es eso? , the response is Eso es una silla or esto es una lampara regardless of the gender. But you would answer Éste es Señor Molina. It seems like when you talk about objects, it's eso es something but people are esté or está.
I hope this makes sense!
