In which cases for example ?

[unkempt drift]

I’m fine je vais bien

[bold wren]

It's an exception

In all the other cases we use Je suis

[unkempt drift]

est ça la seulement le temps?

[broken rapids]

better not to think of it in terms of translations from english

[unkempt drift]

Je vais means i go

Je suis means i am

We use the verb " aller " for the tense " le futur proche " maybe you saw a sentence with that and that confused you.

[broken rapids]

je vais bien = I'm doing well

you wouldn't ask how you know when to use do vs is in english, would you?

[unkempt drift]

Je vais manger après une heure for example, it means im going to eat i hour later

[unkempt drift]

Ah I see thanks

[unkempt drift]

Ah your right

word reference is an invaluable resource!

[unkempt drift]

Thanks mate

[unkempt drift]

Sometimes a word doesnt have a single meaning, they may have multiple used with different constructions

Yeah

You will get used to it the more you get exposed to the language, i think it is the same case in pretty much every language

Yeah

Je vais à la boulangerie

As fquel said, you can check the words from the wordreference, it is very useful

[unkempt drift]

Ok

[unkempt drift]

Would this sentence be correct with the term vais

yes

Aller à qqpart

To go to somewhere

Oui

"Allé " is the past participle

sorry my cat stepped on my phone and type that with the auto correct 💀

If you are not familiar with past tenses or future tenses, start with learning and mastering the present tense

[unkempt drift]

Ok

It will make learning the rest easier
