Conjugation and pronunciation of the French verb 'être' Part1
Present the verb être


Hi all, in this lesson we will begin to study the verbal conjugation in French , specifically the Present of the verb être , ie, the verb to be.
To be                                être
I am / I am                        je suis
And you are / you are            Tu es

Us / as we are / we are         Nous sommes
You / as you are / you are Vous êtes
They / as is / are Ils /          elles sont

Pay special attention to the pronunciation of the verb être and tries to distinguish without looking at the text each verbal form. A good exercise for these cases is, after listening to several times the French pronunciation, try to write what you're listening.

Here are some examples of this use of the verb être:

English                         French
I'm a woman                Je suis une femme
You're tall               Tu es grand
