Key concepts
3 concepts
- 1
In French, adjectives used to describe someone must agree in number and gender with the noun or pronoun they modify.
- 2
In general, French adjectives are placed after the noun they describe, but the color 'marron' (brown) is an exception and does not change to agree.
- 3
To describe your own physical appearance in French, replace 'He has' or 'She has' with 'I have' and 'He is' or 'She is' with 'I am'.
