Homework Help: French

So,if there is no liaison with être, then the "s" in "je suis" is never "carried-over"?
For loss of a better example, if I were to say "je suis intelligent(e)", the "s" would not be attached to the "i" in "intelligent(e)" - right?

I would hear the "z" sound in "je suis intelligente." Actually in your original example there IS liason in "est-il." Please see the preceding post about l'Académie Française. Hopefully they answer as quickly as la Academia Real Española.

Mme (aka Sra)

P.S. You might like the website for "liason, enchaînement, etc."
