Making Sure Nouns and Adjectives Match in Gender

In French, every noun is either masculine (like boys) or feminine (like girls). It’s important that adjectives, which describe nouns, match the gender of the nouns they go with.

Important Rules:

1. Masculine Nouns:

   • When a noun is masculine, adjectives usually end with -e.
   • Example: un livre intéressant (an interesting book).

2. Feminine Nouns:

   • If the noun is feminine, you need to add -e to the adjective.
   • Example: une voiture intéressante (an interesting car).

3. Plural Forms:

   • For nouns that are plural (more than one), you add -s to the adjective.
   • Example: des livres intéressants (interesting books).
   • Example: des voitures intéressantes (interesting cars).

Practice:

• First, check if the noun is masculine or feminine.
• Then, use the right form of the adjective so they match!
