When do you use "e" instead of "y" for the word "and"?
I saw this in my Spanish textbook earlier. When do you use "e" instead of "y" when saying "and"?

We usually use "y". For example: Pedro y Rocío, Antonio y Sandra.
Sometimes, when the name begins with "i" we use "e" because of phonetics. For example: Rocío e Ignacio. If we try to say "Rocío y Ignacio" this sounds extremely difficult to pronounce.

Hi Jeremy. It's when the next word begins with the side "i".
E.g: "Habla español e italiano"
