ça vs il or elle

Owen W.B2Kwiziq community member

why is 'ça' used to refer to 'le recyclage' and not 'il'? Like 'Il réduit la pollution' for instance or 'il limite des déchets'?

Salut Owen,

I see it as simply expressing "this" in the lesson in the sense "Le recyclage ça (this) réduit la pollution ...."

It acts as a pronoun

Hope this helps.

Bonne continuation

Jim
