L'adjectif. ( adjectives) we have 2 types the adjectives . 1 -épithète : nom + adj or adj + nom For exemple : une fille belle or une belle fille. ( the girl nice or the nice girl) 2 -attribut : nom + verbe + adj For exemple : cette fille est belle . ( this girl is nice)
Singular
- le grand bâtiment = the large building
- la grande ville = the big city
- un grand appartement = a large apartment
Plural
- les grands bâtiments = the large buildings
- les grandes villes = the big cities
- de grands appartements = large apartments
Another thing to consider is that the plural article "des" becomes "de" when it is before the adjective:
- Mon bâtiment a de grands appartements = My building has large apartments.
Sentense construction
Construct sentences with adjectives is very simple:
- Ce vélo est rapide = This bike is fast.
- Le ciel est bleu = The sky is blue
Adjectives are placed in front or behind a name:
- un homme pauvre = a poor man
- un pauvre homme = a poor man
Feminine
The feminine of adjectives is formed by adding the ending "e" to the masculine adjective. However, there are some exceptions. Look at The Adjective. Women's training to learn more about this.
Here is a list of the most common adjectives, with their feminine :
