and

Notes

Et means "and." It is a conjunction, used to link words, phrases, or clauses together.

You use et exactly like "and" in English to connect elements.

"J'ai une pomme et une banane." (I have an apple and a banana.)

"Il court et il saute." (He runs and he jumps.)

Be very careful not to confuse et (and) with est (is).

"Elle est grande et mince." (She is tall and thin.)
