'Je sors', 'tu sors' and 'il, elle sort' are singular forms of the -ir verb 'sortir'.
'Je viens', 'tu viens' and 'il, elle vient' are singular forms of the -ir verb 'venir'.
The preposition 'de' can mean both 'of' and 'from' in French.
When asking a closed inversion question using 'il/elle', pronounce the 't' (sort-elle ce soir ?).
If the verb ends in a vowel, add a 't' before 'il/elle' (a-t-elle un chien ?).

Nationalities use capital letters as in English: I am French.

In French, nationalities do not use capital letters: je suis français.

Venir - -ir verb meaning 'to come, coming'
Sortir - -ir verb meaning 'to go out, going out'
De - preposition meaning 'of' or 'from'
Inversion question - when the subject pronoun and the verb switch place to form a question
