Conjugate avoir in Le Présent (present tense)

Hi William,

Do you have a question?

You need to form comprehensible questions. I don't know what you're asking.

Bonjour Kyaw, a proper noun, i.e. a person's name, will use the third person singular. Let's look at some examples: J'ai un chien. I have a dog. So if we want to state that Jean has a dog, then the phrase becomes «Jean a un chien» Nous avons deux chats. We have two cats. In speaking about my family, to use a common noun, Ma famille a deux chats or Nous avons deux chats. or how about «the house has a roof» la maison a un toit. Elle a une souris. She has a mouse. In these examples, except for nous, they all use the third person singular. With nous it takes the first person plural, nous avons. I hope this helps, Bonne chance, Ron

Merci prof. It helps. So if the subject is plural proper nouns such as John et Alice or plural common nouns such as La maisons, which verbs can we use to be compatable with.

Do they use third person plural?

Bonjour Candace ! Well, in French, you will use "avoir [un bras / une bouche / ... ]", and in English I would use "to have" as well. Does this answer your question?

Oui. Merci.

Bonsoir! That's interesting, Aurélie. I'm Brazilian, and in Portuguese (which also comes from latin) we have a similar construction. We can say "nós" (= French's "nous") which takes a plural verb, or we can say "a gente", which has the same meaning as "nós", but takes a singular verb, just as "on" does in French.

Bonjour Candace ! Yes, of course, "on" is actually more common in speech than "nous". You conjugate verbs with it as you do "il/elle", so it will be "on a". I hope that's helpful! À bientôt !

La réponse m'aide. Merci.

C'est super ! Moi, je n'ai pas d'animal familier.

Pourquoi vous n'avez pas d'animal familier? :)

J'habite dans un petit appartement en plein centre-ville, et pour être honnête, je n'ai pas vraiment envie :)

Super Amany ! Comment s'appelle-t-elle ?
