j’ai fait
J’ai fait means “I did” or in some cases “I made”. It may also be the start of a phrase or phrasal verb with faire, in the past tense.
J’ai fait is not a standalone statement or phrase.
For instance, in order to express “I did it” in French, you’d have to add le: Je l’ai fait. (I did it.). Or if the “it” is feminine, you would add la and the phrase would change to Je l’ai faite.
Note that the past participle of faire is fait, not fais. J’ai fais is incorrect.
