So bois is singular, but in this case we use boit. Can someone help me on this one? Very new to French, Je suis désolé.

That's how we conjugate this verb.

Je bois (I drink)

Tu bois (You drink)

Il/elle boit (he / she drinks)

Nous buvons (we drink)

Vous buvez (you drink)

Ils/elles boivent (they drink)

here's a link to help you out

For beer, do we use "un" or "une"?

Is Le homme and l'homme the same thing?

September 13, 2018

Yes but we don't use "le homme" it's a mistake, you only can say "l'homme"

If a word starts with a vowel or silent H you use l'

Why cannot we say, "le homme", in earlier lessons we used to read/write like this.

Sorry, there was never "le homme". It must be contracted to "l'homme".

What i can't understand is "un" is male "une" is female but in some sentences they are all over the place. It's confusing.
