Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
In French you conjugate verbs to match the subject (the one performing the action)
So "je avoir" doesn't make sense because the verb doesn't match. It would be like "I to have" or "I has".
Avoir is the infinitive form, meaning it's not yet conjugated, so it's either for the general sense of the action or it's being acted on by a different verb.
"Avoir" means to have, "être" means to be
J'ai -> I have
Je suis -> I am
But some tenses in French use an auxiliary verb, which can be either être or avoir depending on the word.
(Compared the similar English forms "I have seen" or "I had done")
Ah okay!
Sorry I’m still kinda confused but I’ll just search some examples! Merci beaucoup
You'd have to be a bit more specific since there are a few different cases that can trip learners up between the two
