    hey,
    question….
    why is :
    el gato del sr. jordan
    has a “del” instead of just a “de”
    when does “de” becomes “del”

    love the vid’s great work!
    thanks

      Good question. Hopefully, my answer makes sense. ;-)

      de + el = del

      When you talk about a person in a sentence, such as Señor Jordan,
      you’ll need ‘el Señor Jordan

      Or Señora Ortiz in a sentence would be ‘la Señora Ortiz

      So de + ‘el Señor Jordan’ => ‘del Señor Jordan
