Adjective agreement

French adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. The regular pattern adds -e (feminine) and -s (plural). Irregular patterns include doubled consonant (bon → bonne), vowel change (beau → belle), and invariable adjectives (marron, orange).

Regular: add -e for feminine (grand → grande); add -s for plural (grand → grands); add -es for feminine plural (grandes). If the masculine already ends in -e, feminine is identical (jeune → jeune). Doubled consonant: bon → bonne, gros → grosse, bas → basse. Irregular feminines: beau → belle, nouveau → nouvelle, vieux → vieille, long → longue, blanc → blanche, doux → douce. Colour invariables: adjectives that were originally nouns or borrowed words stay unchanged: marron, orange, crème, kaki. BAGS adjectives go before the noun (Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size): beau, vieux, jeune, bon, mauvais, grand, petit, gros. Most others go after.
