Show transcript
The SSC [(a)in] is pronounced as in 'Tintin'. Person nouns change based on the gender of the person in French: un cousin, une cousine. 'Je suis', 'tu es', 'il est' and 'elle est' are the singular forms of the verb 'être', to be. 'C'est' means 'it is'. 'C'est' can be used to say what or who someone is: C'est ma cousine - she is my cousin. 'J'ai', 'tu as', 'il a' and 'elle a' are the singular forms of the verb 'avoir', to have.
