I need clarification?

So instead of using Je I have to use J'ai ? Am I understanding this correctly?

This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate avoir in the present tense in French (Le Présent)"

Bonjour Jose !

You have understood correctly. 

This is a case of elision done as there were two vowels coming simultaneously. 

Hence J’ai = I have (not Je ai)

Hope this helps !

Hi

Sure you are right, because of two vowels.
