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!
