#Vocabulary #Verb
Aller not Être
Before we go into discussing “how are you“, we first have to mention the right verb.
In English, we say “how are you”, but in French they say “how goes it”.
In old English this was more prelevant.
So, before we proceed, just remember the following:
You have to use aller (to go), if you want to ask “how are you” in French.
Comment ça va ?
How are you?
Ça va ?
How are you?

“Help me build simple, natural sentences that people actually use in daily life. Start with short structures and gradually expand them. Explain the word order and meaning in clear, non-technical language.”
“Role-play a realistic conversation for [situation]. Speak naturally, pause after each message so I can respond, and correct my mistakes gently while explaining what sounds unnatural.”
