Why are there two ways of asking is your in French?

There isn't actually two ways of asking "are you" in French. The question "Are you...?" is expressed in a single way, which depends on the verb following it.

Here's the breakdown:

* "Êtes-vous" is used when the verb following it is conjugated in the plural form. For example:

* "Êtes-vous prêts ?" (Are you ready?)

* "Êtes-vous heureux ?" (Are you happy?)

* "Es-tu" is used when the verb following it is conjugated in the singular form, specifically for the second person singular (referring to "you" when talking to one person). For example:

* "Es-tu content ?" (Are you happy?)

* "Es-tu là ?" (Are you there?)

The key takeaway is that the form "are you" itself doesn't exist as a separate phrase in French. You need to include the verb that follows to determine the correct conjugation.
