El supervisor revisa el informe.

Yes. El is the masculine singular definite article, so here it means the.

• el supervisor = the supervisor
• el informe = the report

In Spanish, articles are often used in places where English also uses them, but sometimes Spanish uses them more often than English does.

Supervisor is a noun for a male supervisor. If the supervisor were female, you would normally say la supervisora.

So:

• el supervisor = the male supervisor
• la supervisora = the female supervisor

The article changes too:

• el with masculine nouns
• la with feminine nouns

Revisa is the third-person singular form of the verb revisar, which commonly means to review, to check, or to inspect, depending on context.

Here, revisa matches el supervisor because that subject is:

• third person = he/she/it
• singular = one person

So the pattern is:

• yo reviso = I review/check
• tú revisas = you review/check
• él/ella/usted revisa = he/she/you review/check

Because Spanish often leaves subject pronouns out when the verb form already shows who the subject is.

In this sentence, el supervisor is already the subject, so adding él would usually be unnecessary.

Spanish commonly says:

• El supervisor revisa el informe.

Not usually:

• Él supervisor revisa el informe. ❌

Also note that él means he, while el means the.

Because informe is a specific noun and here it is presented as the report, not just a report.

So:

• el informe = the report
• un informe = a report

Spanish needs an article here just as English does.

In this sentence, el supervisor is doing the action, and el informe is receiving the action.

• el supervisor = subject
• revisa = verb
• el informe = direct object

A very common Spanish word order is:

Subject + Verb + Object

So this sentence follows a basic pattern: El supervisor + revisa + el informe

Yes, it is in the simple present tense.

In Spanish, the simple present can often translate into English in more than one way depending on context, such as:

• reviews
• checks
• is reviewing
• is checking

So El supervisor revisa el informe could describe:

• a habitual action: The supervisor reviews the report
• an action happening now: The supervisor is reviewing the report

If you specifically want to emphasize right now, Spanish can also use:

• El supervisor está revisando el informe.

Yes, Spanish can change word order more flexibly than English, but the normal neutral order here is:

El supervisor revisa el informe.

That is the most straightforward way to say it.

Other orders may be possible in special contexts, for example for emphasis, but they are not the default for a beginner. This sentence is a standard, natural subject + verb + object structure.

Because informe and información are different words.

• informe = report
• información = information

So el informe refers to a document or formal report, not general information.

In most of Latin America, revisa is pronounced approximately like:

reh-BEE-sah

A few helpful notes:

• r is a light tap sound, not the strong English r
• v in Spanish often sounds closer to a soft b
• the stress is on vi: re-VI-sa

So:

• revisa → re-VI-sa

It is similar, but not identical. In Spanish, it is pronounced more like:

soo-pehr-bee-SOR

A few differences from English:

• the r sounds are Spanish r sounds, not English r
• the v is usually softer, often close to b
• the final stress is on -sor

So even though the word looks familiar to an English speaker, it should be pronounced in a Spanish way.

Yes. Since el informe is a direct object, you can replace it with the direct object pronoun lo.

So:

• El supervisor revisa el informe. becomes
• El supervisor lo revisa.

Here, lo means it and refers to el informe.

This is very common in Spanish.
