être means to be
This is used when you want to say 'I am' or 'you are' etc. Here's the verb table:
Je suis (I am) Nous sommes (We are)
Tu es (You are) Vous êtes (You are)
Il est (He is) Ils sont (They are)
Elle est (She is) Elles sont (They are)
On est (We are/one is)
As with avoir, similar rules apply. Tu es is used for speaking to friends or to just one person and the vous part is used when talking to lots of people or someone older than you that you maybe don't know. Ils sont is used if you're talking about a group of people when at least one of them is a guy and elles sont is used when you're talking about a group of people where evryone is feminine.
