adjective rules
In French, unlike English, most of the adjectives come after the noun they are describing. A few French adjectives are placed before the noun it describes, and the best way to learn these adjectives is to memorize the list. Some adjectives can come before or after a noun and the meaning of the sentence will change depending on the placement of the adjective. In French all adjectives must agree in number and gender with the noun.
