What is the French word for you are?

Answer 1

tu es.

Or 'vous etes' if you are addrssing more rthan one person. Don't forget that in French there is no continuous present, such as 'You are going to New York', the French could only say 'You go to New York' i.e. 'Vous allez a New York', not 'Vous etes allant a New York'.
