How do you list adjectives in French?

Most French adjectives go after the noun they describe. Some very common adjectives usually come before the noun: bon/mauvais, court/long, grand/petit, jeune/nouveau/vieux, gros, haut, beau, joli, premier, meilleur.

1. Usually the adjective comes after the noun it is describing. …
2. Colours also come after the noun. …
3. Short, often-used adjectives generally come before the noun (beau, bon, bref, grand, gros, faux, haut, jeune, joli, mauvais, meilleur, nouveau, petit, vieux).

• petit – small.
• grand – tall/big.
• mauvais – bad.
• bon – good.
• belle or beau – beautiful.
• froid – cold.
• gentil – kind.
• chaud – hot.

This means that French adjectives can have up to four different forms: masculine singular; feminine singular; masculine plural; and feminine plural. Sounds complicated? Don’t panic! It’s simpler than it seems.

1. B for beauty: beau (beautiful), joli (pretty)
2. A for age: jeune (young), vieux (old), nouveau (new)
3. G for goodness: bon (good), meilleur (better), mauvais (bad), gentil (kind)
4. S for size: petit (small), haut (high), gros (fat)

“Multiple Adjectives” rule: When two adjectives need to be in the same place (both before or both after), use the conjonction “et” to separate them.

What is an adjective? Adjectives are words that describe the qualities or states of being of nouns: enormous, doglike, silly, yellow, fun, fast. They can also describe the quantity of nouns: many, few, millions, eleven.

Adjectives are words that are used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns. For example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things—a red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, an obnoxious person.

Adjectives (les adjectifs) describe the qualities and characteristics of a noun; they describe how someone or something is. They always accompany the noun they describe, and the endings of an adjective always agree with the noun in terms of gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural).

Agreement of adjectives In French, adjectives must agree with their noun, which means that they have to show whether they are masculine or feminine and singular or plural to match the noun.

To change an adjective into its plural form, the basic rule is to add an -s. But if it already ends in -s or -x, no additional suffix is needed. For adjectives that end in -eau or -al, the plural form is -eaux or -aux.

Look for a word before a noun that describes the noun. The nouns is the person, place or thing that is the subject of the sentence. Then, check to see if there is a descriptive word right before the noun. If there is, then it may be an adjective.

1. Quantity or number.
2. Quality or opinion.
3. Size.
4. Age.
5. Shape.
6. Color.
7. Proper adjective (often nationality, other place of origin, or material)
8. Purpose or qualifier.

Each of the four examples above contains an adjective (Trumpian, Shakespearean, Thai, French) and you will immediately note that each adjective is capitalized—it starts with a capital letter. … Adjectives made from proper nouns are “proper adjectives” and also need to be capitalized.

Adjectives describe a noun and all French adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number. The general rule is that for feminine nouns, add -e, for masculine plural nouns, add -s, and for feminine plural nouns, add -es.

All French adjectives agree in number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or feminine) with the nouns they describe. In fact, in French, all words in a sentence must agree with each other: If, for example, the noun or pronoun is singular, its verb and any adjectives describing it must also be singular.

The plural forms of adjectives are created the same way as the plural forms of nouns. If an adjective ends in any vowel, add – s to make it plural. If an adjective ends in any consonant, add – es to make it plural.

French Adjective Conjugation In English, adjectives don’t change. But in French, you need to conjugate adjectives. Since the adjectives describe nouns, they need to fit the noun’s characteristics.

Adjectives don’t have a singular and plural form OR a masculine, feminine and neutral form. Adjectives are always the same! Never add a final –s to an adjective. Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the subject of a sentence.

Some adjectives are known as invariable, which means they don’t change at all. For marron and orange, nothing needs to be added to form the feminine and plural forms, eg: je porte un pullover marron – I’m wearing a brown sweater.

The simplest way to turn a noun into an adjective is to add suffixes to the end of the root word. The most common suffixes used to create adjectives are -ly, -able, -al, -ous, -ary, -ful, -ic, -ish, -less, -like and -y. For example, turn the noun “danger” into the adjective “dangerous” by adding the suffix -ous.
