The verb — where it comes from

  • est←êtreGroup 3 · irregular

    This verb is irregular — it isn't built from anything and has to be learned. Its full table is below, in the rule's explanation.

    Mood
    indicative
    Tense
    present
    Person
    third person singular (il/elle/on)
    With
    Il

    Irregular. There is no stem-plus-ending pattern to follow; the whole table has to be learned, like English be: am, is, are.

    Full conjugation of «être»

Notes on this sentence

  • plus … queEnglish adds -er (taller). French has no -er: it always says more tall than: plus grand que.
  • moiAfter que the pronoun is stressed: que moi — like English than me, never « que je ».
  • grandThe adjective still agrees: elle est plus grande que moi.
