    When I wrote double L's it said their was a typo. How do you write it?

      It's 'il', but the 'i' is a capital so it looks like the L in lower case

          est is a conjugation of Être, which is "to be". "Il est parle" is like comparing he (a person) to speaking (an action). Il parle can also mean "He speaks"
