You’ll be “content” if you learn this “content”
What is an adjective?
What do adjectives do?
Are colors adjectives?
There are “deux” ways that an adjectif is different “en francais” from “en anglais”.
First, it FOLLOWS the noun is describes… Le stylo bleu. (The pen BLUE)
L’enfante blonde. (The girl child BLONDE)
Les profs intelligents. (The teachers SMART)
Sounds funny en anglais…!
In addition to FOLLOWING the noun, they MUST also… AGREE with the noun!
What does this mean?
◦ The adjective AGREES in GENDER and NUMBER with the noun it describes
REGULAR ADJECTIVES…
FEMININE add an “E” to the end of the adjective
PLURIEL add a “S” to the end.
FEMININE et PLURIEL add an “ES” to the
end.
Thus… if a noun is…
◦ MASCULINE the adjective is also masculine… Le garçon est petit.
◦ FEMININE the adjective MUST be feminine. La fille est petite.
◦ PLURAL the adjective is plural. Les garçons sont petits.
◦ FEMININE et PLURAL the adj MUST be feminine and plural.
Les filles sont petites.
Nothing is added
ADD « e »
ADD « s »
ADD « es »

ALONE, an adjective has PAS de gender ou numéro…An adjective simply REFLECTS the SAME gender and numéro of the NOUN it describes!
When the GENDER et NUMBER of the noun et the adjective DO NOT MATCH, the scale is tipped, the PHRASE N’est PAS
bonne!
