How to Say "She Is" in French

elle est

The English phrase "she is" is translated into French as elle est.

elle est is used to describe a female person or a feminine noun.

Which one should you use?

Use elle est when referring to a female person or a feminine noun, whereas il est is used for a male person or a masculine noun.

The phrase elle est is the third-person singular feminine form of the verb être (to be) combined with the pronoun elle (she).

The phrase elle est can be used to describe a person's profession without using an article, such as saying elle est médecin for 'she is a doctor'.
The spelling of est is a rare exception in French where a silent internal 's' is preserved. Aside from the name of 'Jésus-Christ', it is virtually the only common word that keeps this letter from its Latin roots.
In French, elle est is used to describe things that have no gender in English, such as a table or a car, provided the noun is grammatically feminine.
