Just as le and la become l' before a vowel, see how the word for 'I', je, is shortened to j' before a vowel. That is why 'I have' is not 'je ai' but j'ai. Here are some sample sentences of the verb avoir in action.
j'ai un crayon rouge
tu as une règle jaune
il a une gomme blanche
le garçon a un pupitre vert
la fille a un livre marron
nous avons un stylo bleu
vous avez un cahier noir
elles ont des trousses
les élèves ont une image
les filles ont un ordinateur |
