Listener Kate emailed me with the following question: “There is something thing I’ve never really had explained to me and which I still get confused about. When in French you use “c’est” instead of “est,” as we would in English?  Any tips on when to use “est” and when to use “c’est” is much appreciated.  Thanks!!

Note: To know when to use “c’est” or “il “, listen to Episode 57
