The verb - Faire - in French means

to do

or

to make.



It's the same, one verb in French - rather than being 2 separate verbs - there is a wider spectrum of meaning. French uses "make" sometimes (and also "do) in a stranger way to English speakers, but if you think about it, usually it makes sense.





Il fait - is the 3rd person masculine singular form of the verb - meaning -

he does / makes - or - it (a masculine item subject) does or makes.



Fait-il is this the other way around so to ask a question. - It does / makes - becomes - Does it do / make - exactly like in English.



It makes what time in France? / or / it does what time in France?

What time is it?



There are some elements of French which use the verb Faire strangely for English speakers - to mean a literal translation of - makes /does - which we don't use.



For example - Je fait mal - literally - I make (I am making - I am doing = I am being) sick.French to English translation: What does "fait-il" mean?
