follow the noun they modify (describe). Articles and adjectives must agree in number (singular/plural)
and gender (masculine/feminine) with the nouns they modify.
Usually the feminine adjective is formed by adding an e to the masculine form. To form the plural,
just add an –s. If the adjective ends in an x or an s already, add nothing.
SINGULAR PLURAL
1. grand, grande grands, grandes
2. gros, grosse gros, grosses
3. petit, petite petits, petites
4. blanc, blanche blancs, blanches
5. gris, grise gris, grises
6. vert, verte verts, vertes
7. bleu, bleue bleus, bleues
8. noir, noire noirs, noires
9. violet, violette violets, violettes
Since the final consonant of the plural is silent, the plural forms of the adjective are pronounced
the same as singular forms.
Adjectives that end in e do not change for the feminine. They simply add s for the plural.
Some adjectives of color do not change to agree with gender or number, such as adjectives that
also exist as nouns: orange, marron, rose; remain masculine even if they describe a feminine
noun.
