Either way, "it" works. "It" is as though you were a native speaker. Regarding your second question, there are three possibilities I see: (1) YOUR English....

Regarding your second question, there are three possibilities I see:
(1) YOUR English.... (as opposed to HER English).
(2) Your ENGLISH.... (as opposed to your SPANISH).
(3) Equal value as you address the person.
I go with the third with no context.

Hello Hanuman
You have to replace both words with one pronoun.
A pronoun stands in place of a noun, a verbal noun, or
a noun-phrase.
'Your' is an adjective that qualifies the noun 'English', so you can't
replace 'your' with a pronoun.
That only leaves the noun 'English', so you must replace 'English'.
'English' is not a person or anim

You are referring to an answer I posted on this topic earlier.
In the case of a test situation or practice exercises, you don't have enough context to determine an answer to your question about emphasis.
Typically, the author of the exercise wants you to answer "it" in this case, not "yours". In all such cases, the best choice is normally "he", "she", "it", "I', "we", and so
