Translation: L'homme boit.

If Le is used for Masculine, what is wrong in writing Le homme??

[lgfmartins]

I really cannont understand when I should use "bois" and "boit".

[Sitesurf]

je bois, tu bois, il/elle/on boit, nous buvons, vous buvez, ils/elles boivent

[junio]

What determines the use of boit or bois; is it gender or plurality?

[lgfmartins]

Neither. French (as Portuguese, Spanish and other latin languages) uses conjugations for its verbs. This means that the verb is altered whenever the subject changes. Think of it as if every verb in french were irregular - and then a little more difficult. Further reference on the conjugation of boire: http://french.about.com/od/verb_conjugations/a/boire.htm
