Plural forms of adjectives — The normal case
In most cases -s is added to the singular form of the adjective and there is no change in the pronunciation:
| Singular | Plural | |
|---|---|---|
| French | Elle est contente | Elles sont contentes |
| English | She is happy | They (f) are happy |
| French | II est content | Ils sont contents |
| English | He is happy | They (m) are happy |
| French | La veste est rouge | Les vestes sont rouges |
| English | The jacket is red | The jackets are red |
| French | Le sac est rouge | Les sacs sont rouges |
| English | The bag is red | The bags are red |
If the word ends in -s or -x, it will be invariable:
| Singular | Plural | |
|---|---|---|
| French | Notre fils est heureux | Nos fils sont heureux |
| English | Our son is happy | Our sons are happy |
| French | Le cahier est gris | Les cahiers sont gris |
| English | The exercise book is grey | The exercise books are grey |
