Tu as un passeport ?
Most French verbs change really predictably. But some verbs just do their own thing and don't follow typical patterns.
| subject | verb (aller) |
| je I | vais go |
| tu you | vas go |
| il / elle he / she | va goes |
If a verb begins with a vowel, be sure to change je to j'!
| subject | verb (avoir) |
| j' I | ai have |
| tu you | as have |
| il / elle he / she | a has |
J'ai un passeport.
I have a passport.
Oh, gee!
In French, g is pronounced differently if it's followed by e, i or n.
gants
gants, Gustave, tango (as in "gap")
mange

compagne
compagne, espagnol, Espagne (as in "onion")
