| Nov 26, 2017 at 21:30 | comment | added | Gustavson | @aparente001 OP specifically asked about "Ellos son unos maestros excelentes." I suggest you add that for your reply to be more accurate. They way you put it, it sounds as if only "Ellos son maestros excelentes" were correct. (Note: On my planet, we prefer to help by making suggestions for improvement :) ) | |

| Nov 26, 2017 at 15:03 | comment | added | aparente001 | @Gustavson - Right. I would express "unos maestros excelentes" as "some excellent teachers." I thought about adding a comment about that phrase, but decided not to. I decided to focus on answering OP's specific questions. | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 14:32 | comment | added | Gustavson | Something else: "Ellos son unos maestros excelentes" is as fine as "Ellos son maestros excelentes". The only slight difference I find is that the former may convey the idea of a group of excellent teachers. This idea is absent in the latter. | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 14:23 | comment | added | aparente001 | @Gustavson - You're right, I hadn't thought of that. | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 14:23 | comment | added | Gustavson | "Es un maestro" is perfect Spanish to mean "He's an expert / a genius" | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 14:16 | comment | added | aparente001 | I never hear "El es un maestro". The way I think of it is: El = maestro. | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 7:06 | comment | added | Simple | or is it ok but uncommon? | |
| Nov 26, 2017 at 7:04 | comment | added | Simple | if it is ok to say "Ellos son maestros excelentes". why isn't it ok to say, "El es un maestro"? | |
