Adjective Agreement in French

In French, adjectives need to match the nouns they describe. This means they have to agree in gender and number.

1. Gender Agreement

• Masculine: The adjective stays the same.
  • For example: un livre intéressant (an interesting book)
• Feminine: You add -e to the adjective.
  • For example: une fille intéressante (an interesting girl)

2. Number Agreement

• Singular: Like we showed above.

• Plural: You add -s.

  • For masculine: des livres intéressants (interesting books)
  • For feminine: des filles intéressantes (interesting girls)

• un chat gris (correct)

Remember: Always make sure the adjective matches the noun!
