Very new to German. Lesson 3.1 is using the expression, “Now I see it.” to offer a lesson on how “it” changes with gender. In the sentence, “it” is referring to das Auto (neuter) so in German the expression is"
Jetzt sehe ich es
They then ask how you would the expression change if you were referring to something masculine like der Mantel.
The answer given is: Jetzt sehe ich ihn. (9:17 into the conversation)
why isn't the answer:
Jetzt sehe ich er
I must be missing something pretty basic.
