How do you say are in French?

"Are" in French can be translated in several ways depending on the context:

For the verb "to be":

* "être" - This is the infinitive form, meaning "to be". You'll need to conjugate it to the correct tense and person.

* "est" - This is the third person singular present tense form of "être", meaning "is".

* "sont" - This is the third person plural present tense form of "être", meaning "are".

* "êtes" - This is the second person plural present tense form of "être", meaning "are" (you all).

* "étais" - This is the first person singular imperfect tense form of "être", meaning "was".

* "était" - This is the third person singular imperfect tense form of "être", meaning "was".

* "étions" - This is the first person plural imperfect tense form of "être", meaning "were".

* "étaient" - This is the third person plural imperfect tense form of "être", meaning "were".

For the verb "to have":

* "avoir" - This is the infinitive form, meaning "to have". You'll need to conjugate it to the correct tense and person.

* "a" - This is the third person singular present tense form of "avoir", meaning "has".

* "ont" - This is the third person plural present tense form of "avoir", meaning "have".

* "avez" - This is the second person plural present tense form of "avoir", meaning "have" (you all).

For questions:

* "êtes-vous" - This is the polite form of "are you".

* "es-tu" - This is the informal form of "are you".

It's important to note:

* French verbs are conjugated, meaning they change their form based on the person, number, and tense.

* You need to use the correct conjugation of the verb "être" or "avoir" depending on the context.

Examples:

* "Elle est belle." (She is beautiful.)

* "Nous sommes heureux." (We are happy.)

* "Ils ont faim." (They are hungry.)

* "Êtes-vous prêt?" (Are you ready?)
