I'm pretty sure you leave out the article in this construction with occupations, thus "il est professeur et moi aussi" or "je suis medicin" etc.
Yes. Also Il/elle are used generally when the noun is not modified by an article, and when the noun is modified use ce (or c'est). http://www.languageguide.org/french/grammar/pronouns/cest_vs_il.html
You should say "C'est un professeur" or "Il est professeur". In French, we don't use an article before professions : "He is a doctor" = "Il est docteur" ; "They are football players" ="Ils sont joueurs de foot" ; "I am a dentist" = "Je suis dentiste"
It should be 'je suis' not 'je sui' but even then it wouldn't work out right, as it would mean "and also I am".
'Moi aussi' is the normal phrase and is really useful.
I'm still struggling with word order. I put 'cest un professeur et aussi moi' and that's wrong. But I have no idea when one word needs to come before another.
there must be some obscur rule because were I am from Il est un professeur is entirely correct as for the second part i would use "et j'en suis aussi"
i wrote prof and it was wrong......pretty sure prof is ok as short for professeur
I got 'il est enseignant et je le suis aussi' as the correction. Why is there article le?
