Both "y" and "e" are translated as "and", and they are conjunctions.
But when do I use "y"? And "e"? It is very easy. If the following word begins with "i", you'll use conjunction "e", in order to avoid the repetition of the same sound twice.
(The cat and the elephant).
In this sentence, I have used "y", because the following word (el) doesn't begin with an "i" sound. On the other hand, we have:
(That boy is tall and inteligent)
