**[00:59:04]** phrases that when combined eliminate repetition of sound and that is Al and Del Al is a combination of the words A

> **[on-screen 00:59:09]**
> al del ael to the (m)

**[00:59:10]** and L meaning to the masculine and Del

> **[on-screen 00:59:13]**
> al del ael de el to the (m) of/from the (m)

**[00:59:13]** is comprised from the and L meaning from the or of the masculine Spanish combines these words to eliminate the Redundant sound of the same vowel when they're said saying a sounds a bit weird so

> **[on-screen 00:59:21]**
> al del ael de el to the (m) of/from the (m)

**[00:59:23]** Spanish combines the words and forms the word Al and that's the same thing with

> **[on-screen 00:59:25]**
> al del ael de el to the (m) of/from the (m)

**[00:59:26]** Del because saying is redundant Al and

> **[on-screen 00:59:29]**
> al => ael del — deel

**[00:59:29]** can be used both in context when you're only using the masculine definite article in case you want to use the feminine definite article La you don't have to combine the words together so you'll simply say Allah or de as an example you can say a sentence like I

> **[on-screen 00:59:41]**
> | want to go to the bathroom

**[00:59:42]** want to go to the bathroom and in Spanish it would

> **[on-screen 00:59:45]**
> | want to go to the bathroom Yo quiero ir ael bano

**[00:59:45]** be but because Bo is a masculine word

> **[on-screen 00:59:47]**
> | want to go to the bathroom Yo quiero ir a el bano

**[00:59:48]** Spanish has to combine the preposition two with the masculine article so you

> **[on-screen 00:59:52]**
> | want to go to the bathroom Yo quiero ir al bano

**[00:59:53]** Al I want to go to the bathroom if you were to instead use a feminine word like

> **[on-screen 00:59:58]**
> | want to go to the class Yo quiero ir a la clase

**[00:59:58]** you would simply say without needing to combine the preposition with the article likewise the same method can be used with Del if you want to say from thee or of thee for instance you can say he is from the

> **[on-screen 01:00:08]**
> He is from the market

**[01:00:10]** market which would be LS and he is from

> **[on-screen 01:00:11]**
> He is from the market El es del mercado

**[01:00:13]** the class would simply be LS de if you

> He is from the class El es de laclase

> **[on-screen 01:00:20]**
> What do you suppose of the market?

**[01:00:20]** suppose of the market and in Spanish it

> **[on-screen 01:00:23]**
> What do you suppose of the market? éQué supones del mercado?

**[01:00:23]** be and of course the same concept applies to any sentence you want to say in Spanish but keep in mind that

> **[on-screen 01:00:28]**
> to the — al (a + el) of/from the del (de + el)

**[01:00:28]** whenever you say to the or of thee you simply have to combine the words so that they sound better when they're said Al and now there are pronouns after
