Subject pronouns are very important in French. They show who is doing the action in a sentence. Here are the subject pronouns you need to know:

• je (I)
• tu (you - informal)
• il (he)
• elle (she)
• on (one/people in general)
• nous (we)
• vous (you - formal or plural)
• ils (they - masculine)
• elles (they - feminine)

These pronouns replace names in sentences, making them clearer and easier to understand.

Present Tense of Regular -er Verbs

To use regular -er verbs in the present tense, you take off the -er ending and add different endings. Here’s how it works:

• je → -e (e.g., je parle - I speak)
• tu → -es (e.g., tu parles - you speak)
• il/elle/on → -e (e.g., il parle - he speaks)
• nous → -ons (e.g., nous parlons - we speak)
• vous → -ez (e.g., vous parlez - you speak)
• ils/elles → -ent (e.g., ils parlent - they speak)

Making Sentences Negative (ne...pas)

When you want to say something is not true in French, you use "ne...pas" around the verb. For example:

• Affirmative: Je parle. (I speak.)
• Negative: Je ne parle pas. (I do not speak.)

Using Articles

Articles are very important in French. There are two main types:

1. Definite Articles (the):

   • le (singular masculine)
   • la (singular feminine)
   • les (plural)

   Examples:

   • Le livre (the book)
   • La table (the table)
   • Les enfants (the children)

2. Indefinite Articles (a/an/some):

   • un (singular masculine)
   • une (singular feminine)
   • des (plural)

   Examples:

   • Un livre (a book)
   • Une table (a table)
   • Des enfants (some children)

Introduction to Adjectives

In French, adjectives need to match the noun they describe. Here’s how:

• For masculine singular, there's no change (grand - big).
• For feminine singular, you add -e (grande).
• For plural, you add -s to both forms (grands, grandes).

Examples:

• un homme grand (a tall man)
• une femme grande (a tall woman)
• des hommes grands (tall men)
• des femmes grandes (tall women)

These basic rules help you build clear sentences and have conversations in French. Keep practicing to get better!
