have both subjects and verbs
 Subjects are NOUNS (people, places,
or things)
 Nouns can be replaced by
PRONOUNS
 Verbs are action words or state of
being words that link the subject to a
description

 The subject
pronouns in French
are:
Je Nous
Tu Vous
Il / Elle / On Ils / Elles

J‟ (like J’ai quinze ans)
 Use tu for “you” when talking to a friend,
family member, or someone your own
age
 Use vous for “you” when talking to an
adult who is not a family member or to
any group of people
 The pronoun on means “one” or “people
in general”. It can also mean „we”
