Compound adjectives — Adverb-adjective compounds
Where an adverb and an adjective are combined, the adverb (always the first element) remains invariable and the adjective agrees:

| French | haut placé | Je connais des fonctionnaires haut placés qui pourraient nous aider |
| English | highly placed | I know some highly placed civil servants who could help us |
| French | bien intentionné | Ce sont toujours les personnes bien intentionnées qui créent le plus de problèmes |
| English | well-intentioned | It's always the well-intentioned people who cause the most problems |
| French | avant-coureur | Voilà les signes avant-coureurs d'une maladie grave |
| English | early-warning | There are the early-warning signs of a serious illness |
