In french there are 11 verb conjuctions but we will get to that later this is simply the present tense.
The verb - "to be"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am --> je suis
You are (singular)--> tu es
He is --> il est
She is --> elle est
It is --> to est
We are --> nous sommes
You are (plural & polite) --> vous etes
They are --> ils/elles sont
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To create the negative form, put 'ne' in
front of the verb 'to be' and put 'pas' at the end....
I am not --> je ne suis pas
You are not (singular)--> tu ne es pas
He is not --> il ne est pas
She is not --> elle ne est pas
It is not --> to ne est pas
We are not --> nous ne sommes pas
You are not (plural & polite) --> vous ne etes pas
They are not --> ils/elles ne sont pas
Note: notice that the negative article comes before the verb and NOT after like it does in English..so there for the forms ''je suis ne pas'', ''tu est ne pas'' etc... are NOT correct!!!
Note: when you have a word with an 's' at the end like 'pas' do not say the 's' it is said 'pa' not 'pas'!

Very, very helpful~
Would you mind telling us how to pronounce a word? Maybe you could start a blog and include voice clips. It's hard for English speaking people to get the right pronunciation. I was very misled when I first started learning French. Also tell whether nouns are masculine, feminine or plural.
Example - Australia - l'Australie (feminine) - Australien/Australienne

btw, thanx for making this thread, it's really helpful

it's kind interesting thread, but I was taught little bit different french (i was learning it for six years), never heard of "to" as "it", french people rather use "on".
other mistakes I have found:
January - Janvier
Russia is not Ruse, but Russie
Venezuela not Venizuela
Maroc not marocoo
also many accents are missing, and as u know misplacing the accent, or not placing it, is completly changing the pronunciation.
