Adjectives in French

Adjectives

Adjectives are words that are used to help describe or give description to people, places, and things.

Adjectives

Adjectives can help give information about size, shape, age, color, origin, material, purpose, feelings, condition, and personality, or texture.

Adjectives

Words like "small", "round", "green", "soft", "happy" and many others are used in the English language to describe something or someone.

Adjectives

Just like in English, adjectives are also present in the French language. Words like "gentil", "bon", "grand", "jaune" are used to describe something or someone.

Adjectives

You already know that unlike the English nouns, the French nouns have gender. But that's not the whole story – the French adjectives have gender too! Their gender will change depending on the gender of a noun they describe! Go to the next slide to see how it works.

Adjectives

Example: Barbidou est occupé. Barboutine est occupée. See how we added one extra "e" at the end of the adjective "occupé" so it became "occupée"? That's because Barbidou is a boy and Barboutine is a girl. Now you know how to turn masculine adjectives into feminine!

Can you help Barbibul turn some more masculine adjectives into feminine by adding a letter "e"? Grand – Petit –
