Bonjour greets someone during the day; bonsoir is an evening greeting. Merci means thank you; de rien answers thanks. Use s’il vous plaît in a polite request and au revoir when leaving.
Je m’appelle introduces your name. Je viens de gives your place of origin. French expresses age with avoir: j’ai dix-huit ans. Tu addresses one familiar person; vous is also used to address one person formally.
Learn nouns with their articles. Un/le are masculine singular; une/la are feminine singular. Les is definite plural; des is indefinite plural. Le and la become l’ before a vowel sound: l’école. Une does not shorten before amie.
The verb changes with its subject. Être: je suis, tu es, nous sommes. Avoir: il/elle a, ils/elles ont. Regular -er verbs use -e with elle and -ez with vous. Keep the subject and verb together when learning.
Je voudrais makes a polite request. Written negation usually places ne...pas around the verb; ne becomes n’ before a vowel. Où asks where, combien asks how much. Deux is 2 and huit is 8.
Look for the exact detail requested: a place, number, time, activity or object. Vit means lives, frères means brothers, ouvre means opens and ferme means closes. In short notices, compare both times before choosing an answer.
