Now that you know how to start a conversation, you need to keep it going with basic questions.
How are you? = Comment allez-vous? (For older people or for a group of people; Comment vas-tu?, for a friend and people your age or younger than you. Comment ça va?, and Ca va? are more common.)
How do you say ... in French? = Comment dites-vous ... en Français? (If you’re pointing to something and forgot or don’t know what it’s called, you can say, Comment appelle-t-on ceci?, which translates to What is this called?)
What time is it? = Quelle heure est-il?
Where are you from? = D’où est-vous? or D’où venez-vous? (For older people or for a group of people; D’où es-tu?, or D’où viens-tu?, for a friend and people your age or younger than you.)
Where are you going? = Où allez-vous? (For older people or for a group of people; Où vas-tu?, for a friend and people your age or younger than you.)
Do you know where ... is? = Savez-vous où est ...? or Savez-vous où se trouve...?
Do you know how I can get to ...? = Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre à/au...? (The difference between à and au lies in the gender of the place you’re going to (i.e.: Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre à la boulangerie?; Female. Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre au poste de police?; Male.) or whether it’s directly followed by a name or not (i.e.: Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre à Pizza Hut?; It is. Savez-vous comment je peux me rendre au café Saint Regis?; It is not.)
Do you know if ... is open? = Savez-vous si ... est ouvert(e)?
How much is this ...? = Combien coute cet/cette ...? (The difference between cet and cette lies in the gender of the thing you’re holding/asking about. (i.e.: Combien coute cet objet?; Male. Combien coute cette montre?; Female.)
How much are these ...? = Combien coutent ces ...? (When the thing you’re asking about is plural (i.e.: fruits; pens.), the gender doesn’t make a difference.)

You’ll need to know what to call people or what to refer to them as:
Parent(s) = Parent(s)
“Est-ce-que tes parents sont à la maison?”
Mom / Mother = Maman / Mère
“Maman, je vais sortir ce soir.”
Dad / Father = Papa / Père
“Passes le salut à ton père de ma part.”
Sister(s) = Soeur(s)
“Vous ne devez pas vous chamailler aussi souvent, vous êtes soeurs.”
Brother(s) = Frère(s)
“Est-ce-que ton frère est dans sa chambre?”
Grandparent(s) = Grand-parent(s)
“Les grand-parents arrivent aujourd’hui, j’ai rangé leur chambre.”
Grandma(s) / Grandmother(s) = Grand-mère(s)
“Grand-mère vient d’appeler, elle veut que tu ailles chez elle.”
Grandpa(s) / Grandfather(s) = Grand-père(s)
“Ton grand-père te passe le salut, tu lui manques.”
Aunt(s) = Tante(s)
“Est-ce-que tes tantes sont bien arrivées?”
Uncle(s) = Oncle(s)
“Mon oncle n’a pas pu venir, malheureusement.”
Cousin(s) = Cousin(s) or Cousine(s)
“Les cousines de Mathilde sont très gentilles, mais son cousin est méchant.”
I / Me = Je / Moi (The difference between Je and Moi lies in the fact that Je is used as a subject, meaning it is always followed by a conjugated verb. Moi is used when talking about oneself without any verb being in the sentence.)
“Tu me demandes si je suis jalouse? Moi, jalouse? Pas du tout!”
(However, there are certain cases in which a verb exists in the sentence.)
“Moi, roi de ce village, demande à ce que vous quittiez mon territoire.”
You = Tu or Vous (Tu is used when talking to someone you’re friends with or someone who’s your age or younger. Vous is used when talking to someone older or a group of people. In the first case, it’s considered as a sign of respect.)
“Tu ne sais pas où aller?”
“Malheureusement, non. Mais on peut demander à ce monsieur de nous aider.”
“Excusez-moi, pouvez-vous nous aider? On est perdues.”
(When asking a question, the structure of the sentence is : Conj. Verb + Subject as opposed to Subject + Conj. Verb which is the structure of a declarative sentence.
The reason why the first question in this example doesn’t follow this rule is because the rule is often neglected when talking to friends, much like in English. “Can’t you...?” sometimes turns into “You can’t...?”.)
She = Elle
“Elle vient de rentrer chez elle.”
He = Il
“Il sait comment réparer une machine à café.”
Us / We = On or Nous (On and Nous are both used when talking about a group of people which the narrator (the person talking) is included in. Even though they both refer to the same people, choosing one over the other will change the conjugation of the verb.)
“Bonjour, on voudrait une table, s’il vous plait.”
“Bien sur, pour combien de personnes?”
“Nous sommes quatre (4).”
(In this example, I used two (2) verbs: Vouloir (To want) and Être (To be). When conjugated with On: On voudrait ; On est. When conjugated with Nous: Nous voudrions ; Nous sommes. Note: The tenses chosen are based on the tenses used in the sentence given in the example.)
They = Elles or Ils (Elles and Ils are used when talking about two (2) people or more. Elles is used when talking about a group of girls, whereas Ils is used when talking about a group of boys. However, Ils can also be used when referring to a group of girls when there is at least one guy involved.)
“Je suis impressionnée par les danseurs, ils étaient très doués. Et les danseuses, elles aussi, étaient incroyables.”
“Ils étaient tous fantastiques.”
Friend(s) = Ami(s) or Amie(s)
“Comment s’appelle ton amie?”
Acquaintance(s) = Connaissance(s)
“Je ne connais pas vraiment John. John est une connaissance, rien de plus.”
Neighbor(s) = Voisin(s) or Voisine(s)
“Marie, viens dire bonjours aux nouveaux voisins! Ta nouvelle voisine, leur petite fille, a ton age.”
