Gender agreement is really important in French. This means that adjectives, which are words that describe nouns, need to match the gender and number of the nouns they go with. This rule helps make sentences clear and easy to understand.

Here are some examples:

• Masculine Singular: un homme intelligent (a smart man)

• Feminine Singular: une femme intelligente (a smart woman)

• Masculine Plural: des hommes intelligents (smart men)

• Feminine Plural: des femmes intelligentes (smart women)

Making sure words agree also helps people understand your meaning better. It adds a nice touch to the French language!
