<p>Would it be</p>
<p>A el tiene pelo rubio.</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>El tiene pelo rubio.</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>The latter. Tiene in this case is intransive I think, so you don't need an indirect object.</p>
<p>I concur.:)</p>
<p>Ditto!
A + el would make al in anycase, and that just makes no sense in that sentence.</p>
<p>El tiene pelo rubio...or a more informal manner ( well this is actually only valid for a few latinamerican countries, not all) El es macho</p>
<p>( I'm positive about this, my native language is spanish)></p>
<p>oh and a el only becomes al if el is used as an article, if its a pronoun then its not joined.</p>
<p>In the first case wouldn't 'a el' be used as a direct object in a sentence that doesn't merit a direct object? I'm not challenging anything, but I don't understand that sentence.</p>
<p>Yeah...a el is completely wrong in the first sentence, it doesn't make any sense. So its ok that you don't understand it, because most people wouldn't either.</p>
