Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

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.

Je vais is correct while je parti is not

Je suis parti however, is correct

Je vais is the verb aller (to go).
Je suis parti is the verb partir (to leave)

However I would translate them like this in english:
"Je vais quelque part" = "I go somewhere"
"Je suis parti" = "I'm gone"
"Je suis parti à la montagne" = "I went to (literally left for) the mountains"

So to sum up, je vais means you're going somewhere, while je suis parti means you left a place (to go somewhere else).

@spark umbra Merci Beaucoup !

also, "je vais" is not complete on its own

you can't just say "Je vais" in french, there has to be an object

"J'y vais" (I'm going [there]) or "Je m'en vais" (I'm leaving [from here])
