An adjective is a word that describes the noun (shape, color, size, …). French adjectives have different masculine and feminine forms, depending on the noun they relate and they reflect it’s gender and number.
Regular adjectives add -E for feminine and -S for plural.
Number | Gender | |
---|---|---|
Masculine | Feminine | |
Singular | un livre vert a green book |
Add -e une voiture verte a green car |
Plural | Add -s des livres verts green books |
Add -es des voitures vertes green cars |
There are also a lot of irregular adjectives that don’t have the normal -e, -s, or -es endings. The endings of these irregular adjectives vary widely and they need to be learned.
