copilul are mere, nu are orez.
copilul are mere, el nu are orez.

this is for real speech, i could see duolingo being weird here. but i think a native would leave out the he unless it referred to someone else.

plus context, as always

Native/fluent speakers do not need to speak in clear explicitly-structured grammar when speaking to each other. But it is important for learning how the language functions. "You have to learn how to walk before you can run."

Is the he referring to the child or some other guy? How do we know?
