  3. Les adjectifs réguliers • Adjectives are learned in their masculine singular form. • In French, you must make agreement between the adjective and the subject: - masc. sing. noun needs masc. sing. adjective. - fem. sing. noun needs fem. sing. adjective. - masc. pl. noun needs masc. pl. adjective. - fem. pl. noun needs fem. pl. adjective.

  4. Les adjectifs réguliers • If an adjective is feminine you will add an e to the masculine form (unless there is already an e). Les exemples: Il est amusant. Elle est amusante. Il est timide. Elle est timide.

  5. Les adjectifs irréguliers • Some adjectives in French are irregular. They do not follow the simple rule of adding an e for feminine. Some double the last consonant and add an e. gentil -> gentille mignon -> mignonne • Some adjectives may change entirely. beau -> belle vieux ->vieille

  6. Les adjectifs réguliers en pluriel • You will add an s to the end of an adjective to make it plural. • If the subject is feminine, you will add the s to the feminine ending. • If an adjective already ends in an “s” you will not add another. - Il est grand. Ilssontgrands. Elle estgrande.Ellessontgrandes. • Il estmauvais. Ilssontmauvais. Elle estmauvaise. Ellessontmauvaises.

  7. Le placement des adjectifs • For the majority of adjectives, the adjective comes after the noun. article + noun + adjective - C’est une voiture rouge. - C’est un livre intéressant. - Ce sont des stylos américains.

  8. Le Placement des Adjectifs • Some adjectives, called BAGS adjectives, come before the noun. • BAGS is a mnemonic device to remember adjectives that come before the noun. • If you are using “des” in front of a BAGS adjective, it will change to “de.”

  9. Le Placement des Adjectifs • B = Beauty beau/belle; joli(e); moche; laid(e) • A = Age vieux/vieille; âgé(e); jeune; nouveau/nouvelle • G = Goodness bon(ne); mauvais(e) • S = Size grand(e); petit(e); gros(se)

  10. Le Placement des Adjectifs • When describing something, BAGS adjectives come before the noun. - Ils sont de beaux hommes. - Elle est une jeune femme. - Il est un bon étudiant. - Elles sont de grandes filles.

  11. C’est ou il est • C’est / Ce sont + name • C’est /Ce sont + article + noun (+ adjective) • C’est / Ce sont + article + adjective + noun • Il est / Elle est / Ils sont / Elles sont + adjective * C’est or Il est canbe It is or He is *

  12. C’est • To express an opinion on a general topic, one uses: c’est / ce n’est pas + masculine adjective - J’aime nager. C’est amusant.
