adjective changes something about the noun- the color, for example.

AGREEMENT??
An adjective must agree with the noun it modifies.
in number (singular or plural)in gender (masculine or feminine)
La fille est blonde.Les montres sont roses.
Noun Kinglowly adjective
GENDER AGREEMENT
How can “red” be masculine or feminine??
(The same way a bed is masculine and a bedroom is feminine!)
•un lit•une chambre
GENDER AGREEMENT RULES
Rule #1: If the adjective ends a consonant, add to “e” to make it feminine.
Le tapis est vert.La chaise est verte.
GENDER AGREEMENT RULES
Rule #2: Adjectives that end in “e” don’t change.
Le tapis est jaune.La chaise est jaune.
NUMBER AGREEMENT• How can “red” be singular or
plural?? • Answer: The same way that
it can be masculine or feminine.
(This is a tough one to accept for English speakers.)
NUMBER AGREEMENT RULES
Rule #1: If the adjective ends in
anything except “s”, add s to make it plural.
(just like making a noun plural)
Les réveils sont verts.Les tables sont vertes. (still feminine!)
NUMBER AGREEMENT RULESRule #2:
Like nouns, if the adjective ends in “s”, leave it alone.
Les ordinateurs sont gris.Les lampes sont grises. (still feminine)
REMEMBER:• Because all nouns are
masculine or feminine, adjectives have to be masculine or feminine too.
• Because nouns are singular or plural, adjectives have to be singular or plural too.
