  2. More about adjectives! • Don’t forget: • They go normally AFTER the noun they describe • They normally take endings depending on number and gender • Most feminine will gain an - e at the end • Most plural will gain an – s at the end

  3. NOTES Les Couleurs sont les adjectifs! These colors gain an –e at the end of the feminine version: Noir  Noire Bleu  Bleue Vert  verte Gris (grey)  grise “White” is a little different: Blanc (white)  Blanche

  4. NOTES Les Couleurs These colors do not change from masc. to fem.: Rouge jaune marron Orange rose

  5. NOTES All colors gain an “s” if the items they describe are plural… Nous avons des bicyclettes bleues. EXCEPT: marron Orange They are considered invariable. This means they do not change for gender or number. Nous avons des bicyclettes marron.

  6. On your own paper for a grade:Page 173 dans le livre. Il y a un chien blanc.

  7. Of course, there are exceptions… • Some adjective go BEFORE the noun they describe. • Think of the acronym B.A.N.G.S. to help you remember

  8. NOTES Let the “B” also remind you that these go “b”efore the noun Don’t think TOO HARD about this one… sure being “nice” is good, but is doesn’t mean “good” specifically…. B.A.N.G.S. • Beauty • beau,belle, jolie • Age • jeune, vieux, vielle • Number • trois, onze, etc • Goodness • bon (good), bonne • mauvais (bad), mauvaise • Size • grand, grande, petit, petite

  10. When describing a person or thing, French speaker use: • C’est… • It is; that is; he is; she is • Il est… • It is; that is; he is • Elle est… • It is; that is; she is • But, how do I know which one???

  11. NOTES If there is ONLY an adjective after it, use il est (or elle est). • Remember, il/elle can also mean “it”… let’s see a few examples: • Voici un scooter! Il estrouge. • Here’s a scooter! It is red. • Regarde la voiture là-bas. Elle estpetite! • Look at the car over there. It is little. • Obviously, you can also use il/elle to talk about a person: • Est-ce qu’il est canadien? (Is he Canadian?) • Non, il estaméricain. • No, he is american.

  13. NOTES If there is an article (le, la, les, un, une, des, ma, mon, mes, ta, ton, tes)after, use C’est. • C’est is used for masculine or feminine: • People • items • Examples: • Tiens!

She loves me a lot. • C’estun scooter français. • It’s a French scooter.

  14. NOTES C’est can also be used with names. • Instead of “… s’appelle …” you could use “C’est …”. Voici mon copain qui s’appelle Jean  C’est Jean, mon copain. (Here’s my friend whose name is John  It’s John, my friend.)
