Avoir

This word is pronounced as avwar and its English meaning is “to have”. This is one of the most complex words I have come across while picking up my extremely limited French vocabulary. This verb takes the following forms with the various pronouns

Je ai ( Pronounced as zhay) ---- I have
Il/ Elle a ( pronounced as eel/ehl ah) ---- He/she has
Nous avons (pronounced as noo zavohn) ---- We have
Vous avez (pronounced as voo zahvay) ---- You have
Elle ont (pronounced as ehl zohn) ---- They have

Well, the best way to move to the next step is just to get this memorized.
