Show transcript
French is not a stress-timed language. Sound all vowels. Say syllables equally with a slight emphasis on the last one.
'Avoir' means 'to have, having', 'j'ai' means 'I have', 'tu as' means 'you have'.
'Être' means 'to be, being', 'je suis' means 'I am', 'il est' means 'he is' and 'elle est' means 'she is'.
When using 'être' to describe professions, no article (un/une) is needed before the job noun in French.
Ask questions in French with intonation, inversion and 'est-ce que'. Inversion is more formal than 'est-ce que'.
