"Il est mon ami."

Translation: He is my friend.

[vizigr0u]

As a native I would never say this, but rather "c'est mon ami" (lit. This/It is my friend)

Yes, this exercise is totally incoherent with the restless efforts made by learners to correctly translate "il/elle est + noun" and "they are + noun" in countless exercises throughout the French tree.
