Grammar point: Correlates: lo and ello
At the C1 level, mastering the nuances of Spanish sentence structure is key to expressing yourself with precision and elegance. One such advanced point is the use of 'lo' and 'ello' as neuter correlates (correlatos neutros). Unstressed 'lo' resumes a clause, a situation or an adjective; 'ello' is the stressed form, used as a subject or after a preposition.
