Notes

GENERAL INFO

Je means "I". It is a first-person singular subject pronoun in French.

USAGE

Je always precedes the verb it is the subject of.

For example, "Je parle" (I speak) or "Je suis fatigué" (I am tired).

TRAPS

Je becomes " j' " before a verb starting with a vowel or a mute 'h' (elision).

For instance, "J'aime" (I love), not "Je aime".

Remember, je is a subject pronoun and cannot be used alone (e.g., in answer to "Who?"); use "moi" instead.
