Adjectives
Adjectives normally follow the noun they describe in French,
Some common exceptions which precede the noun are: beau beautiful, bon good, grand big, haut high, jeune young, long long, joli pretty, mauvais bad, nouveau new, petit small, vieux old,
French adjectives have to reflect the gender of the noun they describe. To make an adjective feminine, an e is added to the masculine form (where this does not already end in an e, i.e. jeune). A final consonant which is usually silent in the masculine form is pronounced in the feminine:
To make an adjective plural, an s is added to the singular form: masculine plural - verts (remember - the ending is still silent: vehr) or feminine plural - vertes (because of the e, the t ending is sounded: vehrt ). my, your, his, her These words also depend on the gender and number of the noun they accompany and not on the sex of the 'owner'.
