Possession

To express possession we use the verb avoir (to have) + a noun.

J’ai une voiture → I have a car   Vous avez une belle voiture → You have a nice car  
J’ai un chien → I have a dog   Vous avez un beau chien → You have a nice dog  

Do not say je ai but j’ai.  
Pay attention to pronounce it vous avez like vou’z’avez.
You say the letter –s like the lettter –z.

J’ai un appartement → I have an apartment   Vous avez une maison → you have a house
J’ai deux chiens → I have two dogs   Vous avez trois chats → you have three cats
J’ai un travail fatigant → I have a tiring job   Vous avez un travail intéressant → you have an interesting job  
J’ai des amis français → I have French friends   Vous avez des amis anglais → you have English friends

Where do we put the adjective?

The adjective comes after the noun.
J’ai une voiture verte → I have a green car
J’ai une voiture française → I have a French car
J’ai une voiture économique → I have an economical car

There are exceptions: the adjectives
Beau / joli → beautiful
Bon → good
Petit → little
Grand → big, tall
Gros → big
Vieux → old
They come before the noun.
