"Sie isst einen Apfel und sie essen Brot."

Translation: She is eating an apple and they are eating bread.

[daleboi89]

Look at the verbs. Sie ISST = she eats. Sie ESSEN = they eat

[IanHern]

Why is the first sie she and the second sie they?

[IsRael540630]

It's easier to tell when is means she or they according to the verb, essen or isst.

[ThatGuyOve]

the first sie is she and the second is they I thought that they were both she

[az_p]

You can tell they're different because of the forms of the verbs. In this case, they're even the same verb! This should alert you to something being different :)

[ROHITCHOUD16]

why cannot the first 'Sie' mean 'they' ?

[liams923]

"isst" is singular, so that means that the first "Sie" has to be singular, so therefore it can only mean "she"

thank you
