Je suis en train de dormir...

In English, when we're in the middle of a meal, we'll say I am eating. In French, you can say Je suis en train de manger to express that you're doing something in the moment.

Je suis en train de partir.

I am leaving.

Vous êtes en train de manger.

Notice that after en train de, you'll need to use the infinitive — the form of the verb that ends with ‑er, ‑ir, or ‑re.

Il est en train de prendre une douche.

He is taking a shower.

I have a sweet tooth!

Oh yeah, it's time to talk pastries! You can use à to say what the flavor of something is, or what it's made out of. Remember to change à into au or aux if necessary!

What are you bringing along?

At a party, we might say I want something to drink. In French, you'd say that you want quelque chose à boire!

J'apporte quelque chose à boire.

I am bringing something to drink.
