Questions & Answers about Je suis fatigué, il est très tôt.
Why use il est instead of c'est for "it is very early"?
When talking about time in French, you always use il est. Even though il usually means "he", here it acts as a neutral "it". You will use this exact same structure for the time on the clock, like il est trois heures (it is three o'clock).
If a woman is speaking, does the word fatigué change?
Yes! Because French adjectives change to match the gender of the person they describe, a woman would add an e to the end and write Je suis fatiguée. The pronunciation stays exactly the same, though.
What is the opposite of tôt (early)?
Do I pronounce the final "t" in tôt?
No, the final t is silent. The word sounds very much like the English word "toe".
