takoknight is right.
You have to use "c'est" when there is an article (une, un, le, la, or l') or a possessive (mon/ton/son, ma/ta/sa, notre/votre/leur) before the noun.
So:
- "He is a man." translates to "C'est un homme." (not: "Il est un homme.")

I vaguely remember (from school, ages ago) that if the predicate of the sentence has a reflexive noun, then you use c'est...
