Leçon : Voyager - Lesson : Travelling


Just like articles, French adjectives also have to match the nouns that they modify in gender and plurality.

Regular Formation

Most adjective changes occur in the following manner:

• Feminine: add an -e to the masculine form
• un garçon intéressant --> une fille intéressante
• un ami amusant --> une amie amusante
• un camion lent --> une voiture lente
• Plural: add an -s to the masculine form
• un garçon intéressant --> des garçons intéressants
• une fille intéressante --> des filles intéressantes

Pronunciation

Generally, the final consonant is pronounced only when it comes before an -e. Most adjectives, such as
those above, are affected by this rule.

• Masculine Pronuciation: intéressan, amusan, len
• Feminine Pronunciation: intéressant, amusant, lent
