| J’ai | I have |
| Tu as | You have (informal, singular) |

What to know about avoir:
- Like être, avoir is an irregular verb and is one of the most common verbs used in French.
- You’ll notice in the first person singular conjugation of avoir that the « e » in the subject pronoun « Je » is missing. Je is connected to the conjugation ai by an apostrophe. This is because two vowels (two vowel sounds) are placed back to back.
What is a liason?
A liaison is the connection of sounds between a word that ends in a consonant and the following word that begins with a vowel. The connecting sound oftentimes, and with these examples specifically, is a “z” sound.
Nous avons – [newz ah-von]
Vous avez – [vooz ah-vay]
Ils/Elles ont – [il/el zon]
