In french where does the word est go in a sentence?

The word "est" in French is the third person singular present tense of the verb "être" (to be). It always goes directly before the noun or pronoun it describes.

Here are some examples:

* La table est grande. (The table is big.)

* Il est intelligent. (He is intelligent.)

* Elle est belle. (She is beautiful.)

* C'est un livre. (This is a book.)

Note:

* In French, the subject comes before the verb in most sentences.

* If the subject is a pronoun, it may be placed after the verb in a very formal context.

* "Est" is often used in sentences that describe something, such as its size, color, or quality.
