Questions & Answers about Ellas no son de la familia.
Why is it ellas and not ellos?
Why do we use son in this sentence?
Why does no come before the verb?
In Spanish, you make a sentence negative by putting no directly in front of the verb. While English puts "not" after the verb ("are not"), Spanish essentially says "not are" (no son).
What does de mean in this sentence?
De usually means "of" or "from". While the English translation says "They are not from the family," you can also think of the Spanish phrase as literally meaning "They are not of the family."
