Pronouns in French

Personal pronouns in French include:
- j’/je = I
- tu = you (informal)
- il/elle = he/she
- nous = we
- vous = you (formal or plural)
- ils/elles = they
Masculine pronouns take precedence in mixed-gender groups; for instance, 5 girls and 1 boy would still use ils.
Non-binary individuals should be asked for their preferred pronouns; when in doubt, use tu or vous as neutral terms.

- ai = I have

Negation in French is formed by adding 'n' before the verb:
- Example: J'ai onze ans (I have eleven years) becomes Je n'ai pas onze ans (I do not have eleven years).
