Ellos and Ellas
I am using Rosetta Stone to start learning Spanish. I am understanding that Ellos and Ellas both mean "they".
When I have a group of boys, I say: Ellos Comen. When there is a group of girls, I say: Ellas Comen. I am wondering why, when I have a group of boys, and girls, I use Ellos? I'm assuming that I just use masculine when there is a mix of boys, and girls. I would never use Ellas Comen, if there were boys, and girls, in the group. If there are boys, and girls, in the group, then I use Ellos Comen.
