An overview of French adjectives, explaining their role in describing nouns, agreement in gender and number, placement, and common types.

A French adjective is a word that describes or modifies a noun, providing more information about its appearance, quality, quantity, or other attributes. Adjectives agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the noun they describe. Most adjectives are placed after the noun, but some common ones come before. Understanding French adjectives also involves learning irregular forms and special rules for agreement.
