what if i play Elspeth, Knight-Errant and then when it resolves i use the ability to put a token

my oponent says he does 4 damage to it with a spell in response
allegating i dont get a token and elsperth dies and that i cant do the ability and that its an instant spell and im using a sorcery time ability but i told him i keep priority after i play her.

and another day i play Elspeth, Knight-Errant and say i use the ability to put a token in response he allegates to boomerang it to my hand and he says i dont get a token cuz its sorcery speeed ability and i cant do anything before he boomerangs

i tell him i keep priority right after it resolves and use the ability he says that cont be done plz clarify

she will be bounced but i would get a token and i can play the ability before he can boomerang

in my opinion she will be destroyed but i will get the tokenin the second case.

You're right,

whenever a spell resolves active player receives priority, so, if you play Elspeth and your opponent lets it resolve, you can play the ability right away and put a counter on her, if he then deals 4 damage, Elspeth will be at 1, and you get the 1/1 soldier.

In the boomerang example Elspeth gets bounced back, but you do get the 1/1 token.
