There are three basic verb types in French. They are designated by the ending of the verb in its infinitive state. They are er, ir, re and many irregular verbs. The most commonly used verbs are the most irregular. In English the verb 'to be' is irregular and is conjugated I am, you are and he is. In other words, you can't figure out the conjugation by following a designated pattern. All of these are in the present tense. The same is true for French. Je suis. Tu es. Il est. All are present tense and of course the verb, être, is an irregular verb. The issue English speakers have with Latin languages is, the lack of helping verbs for tense. I am going, as written in English is je vais, in French. Je vais can be translated as I go, I do go, I am going. Many people who try to translate word for word, literal translations and they try to say, je suis aller, thinking that means I am going. It does not. When you say this it sounds much more like I went rather than I am going. Je suis allé means I went. Past tense. Je dis, means I am saying, je vais means I am going, je regarde means I am looking. No additional or helping verbs, like we use in English, are needed. Bon chance.

Why do French put masculine and feminine?

There isn't a specific reason why certain nouns are masculine or feminine, it's just a part of the language's structure. Learning the gender of nouns is important for correct grammar and agreement with other parts of speech.
