Bonjour,
Voici une explication avec exemple :
Traduction mot à mot de l'anglais en français I'm hungry = je SUIS affamée.
En français = j'AI faim, utilisation de l'auxiliaire AVOIR, forme affirmative, le sujet fait l'action
ou
je SUIS affamée utilisation de l'auxiliaire ETRE forme passive, le sujet subit l'action
bonne journée

In French an object pronoun ['te'] precedes the verb; otherwise the object follows the verb.

thank you
Is there any other structure like this that is different with English???
for example you say '' Je t'aime'' but ''J'aime le sport''
why??

In French you say 'the woman has hunger' , 'the boy has thirst'. It's similar in Spanish and Italian.
So ' I'm hungry' is ' j'ai faim ' ; ' I'm thirsty ' - ' j'ai soif ', etc.
