You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

You can say something like "You don't eat pie," which is "Tu ne manges pas la tarte."
tu = you
ne ... pas = don't
manges = eat
la tarte = the pie
But you can also say "Don't eat that pie!" which is "Ne mange pas cette tarte!"
ne ... pas = don't
mange = eat
cette = that
tarte = pie
See how "mange" and "manges" both refer to the same person, but that it changes when the speaker wants to switch tactics. It's like when "am" changes to "was," depending on what time you're talking about. There are seventeen French verb tenses total (compared to twelve in English).
