French Grammar: Sentences | Verbs | Nouns | Adjectives | Prepositions | Adverbs

Adjectives are words used to describe a noun. Adjectives and articles always agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. You can not leave out articles as we do in English.

More adjectives:
French => Français/e
/e means add e for fem. => Française

fat => gros/se
skinny => maigre

beautiful => beau, belle
ugly => laid

short => petit/e
tall => grand/e

new =>nuevo/a
old => ágé/e
young => jeune

less => moins
more => plus
weak => faible
strong => fort/e

rich => riche
poor => pauvre

cute => mignon/ne
athletic => sportif, sportive

asleep => endormi

clean => propre
dirty => sale

sad => triste
happy => content
Possessive Adjectives
My => mon/ma/mes (masc./fem./plural)
Your => ton/ta/tes
His/Her/Its => son/sa/ses
Our => notre/notre/nos
Your => votre/votre/vos
Their => leur/leur/leurs
Note: These are used before the noun. If a feminine noun begins with a vowel use the masculine form for pronunciation. For example,
Ma amie is incorrect => mon amie is correct (though feminine)
Examples:
Your book is blue. = Ton livre est bleu.
My brother is married. = Mon frére est marié.
