Common misconception
When talking about being hungry, thirsty, right, wrong or afraid, use 'être' as the verb.
In French, ideas like being hungry and thirsty are expressed using 'avoir' plus a noun. In French, 'j'ai faim' is correct. It translates literally as 'I have hunger'. Ideas like being thirsty and afraid are expressed the same way.
