[ilovelanguage1]

What about Elle est mange?

[Sitesurf]

she is eat?

[ilovelanguage1]

so it doesn't mean she is eating?
what would that be?

[Sitesurf]

"elle mange" or "elle est en train de manger" (in the process of eating)

[MAX3.14]

she is eating and she eats mean the same thing

[SirOctopus]

She eats.

Present.

[SirOctopus]

Your answer means "she is eats"

Which in turn "mange" in first person would be "eat" and "eats" In third.

What about C'est?Does'nt that mean she/he/it is?

[Sitesurf]

C'est means she/he/it is + NOUN

Two rules for you:

1. C’EST – CE SONT In French, "c'est" (sing.) and "ce sont" (plural) are used in a large variety of expressions, when a pronoun (it, she, he, they) is subject of verb "être" and followed by a nominal group, ie: article (+ adjective) + noun.
2. it is + noun => c'est + article + noun
3. she is + noun => c'est + article + noun
4. he is + noun => c'est + article + noun

5. they are + noun => ce sont + article + noun

6. CONTINUOUS PRESENT
   In English, to mean that an action is in progress at the time you speak, you use the continuous verbal form, ie verb BE + action verb in the gerund form (-ing).
   o he is eating means he currently eats
   In French, this verbal form does not exist (directly translated “il est mangeant” is incorrect).
   Therefore, you can translate either “il mange” or “il est en train de manger”, where the construction verb être + en train de + infinitive correctly expresses the English continuous form.
