Adjectives: How to describe people, places and things in French

You're going to want to describe nouns in French.‎

J'ai un chien - I have a dog is nice but‎… J'ai un chien mignon - I have a cute dog… is better!‎

The first thing to notice is that adjectives in French usually go after the noun.‎

J'ai une porte verte - I have a green door.‎

The next thing to notice is that the adjective must agree with the noun. ‎

Une porte is a feminine noun which means that the adjective vert has a ‎feminine ending 'e'.‎

If you have more than one of something like deux lapins blancs - two white ‎rabbits, lapins is plural. Which means that the adjective has to be plural too. blancs has an s at the end.‎

If you have more than one girl les filles then any adjective has to be feminine ‎and plural.‎

So content adds an e and an s - les filles contentes - the happy girls. Usually adjectives in ‎French come after the noun but there are a few that don't.

beau - beautiful, comes before the noun,‎
bon - good, un bon livre - a good book,

and grand and petit also go before the noun.
Ma petite sœur - My little sister. ‎
Mon grand lit - My big bed.‎

Now where's my cute black dog? **Où est mon chien mignon et noir?**‎
