Each of the Spanish sentences below is incorrect in either grammar or meaning. Rewrite each sentence
correctly
1. El rey que canta está tocando el tambor.
The king that used to sing is playing the drum.
Can you check my answer:
El rey que cantaba está tocando el tambor.
2. Él y ella está tomando jugo.
He and she are drinking juice.
Él y ella están tomando jugo (would it be wrong to use El instead of Él)?
Some typewrites are not set up to put accent marks on capital letters. That means you MIGHT see El but correctly, it is Él.

Great job on the first sentence! Your correction is correct:
El rey que cantaba está tocando el tambor.
Regarding the second sentence, you are almost there. The correction should be:
Él y ella están tomando jugo.
You are right that using "El" instead of "Él" would be incorrect. "Él" with an accent mark is the correct subject pronoun meaning "he," while "El" without an accent mark is the definite article meaning "the." In this case, we want to use the subject pronoun "Él" to agree with the verb "están" (plural form of "estar") and indicate that both "he" and "she" are drinking juice.
