The Verb Être (to be)
ÊTRE is an auxiliary verb, therefore it is absolutely necessary for anyone serious about studying French to know this important verb. In French, there are two such verbs, AVOIR being the second. (we will discuss this verb in detail in the second chapter).
I now invite you to listen to the following audio clips below. Please pay special attention to way the conjugated forms of this verbs are spelled since do not follow any particular pattern.
| je | suis | I am | |
| tu | es | you are (familiar, singular only) | |
| il/elle/on | est | he/she/it/ one is | |
| nous | sommes | we are | |
| vous | êtes | you are (formal or plural) | |
| ils/elles | sont | they are (people or things) | |
