Thread: Referential Pronoun (to an event)

Yes. When your food is cold, you can use the pronoun, when the weather is cold, you can’t.

More or less like in English.

The pronoun это is used for referencing a whole sentence.
E.g.: «Я плету из бисера. Мне это нравится.» (это = я плету из бисера)

The pronoun он/она/оно/они is used when a noun is referenced.
E.g.: «Я читаю книгу. Она мне нравится.» (она = книга)

Though when there is no object to reference to, no pronoun is used.
E.g.: «Холодно.»
