BAGS adjectives

What do we know about adjectives in French? They have to agree in gender and number with the noun they are describing...

Il est blond. Elle est blonde.

Il est intelligent. Elle est intelligente!

Il est fort. Elle est forte!

Ils sont sportifs... Elles sont sportives.

When the masculine form of the adjective ends in "e" it does not change in the feminine. Il est timide. Elle est timide.

The other important thing we know about adjectives in French is that they usually come after the noun they are describing.

un garçon sérieux...

une fille gentille

les cheveux noirs

un stylo rouge

Sometimes adjectives go before the noun in French.... these are referred to as BAGS adjectives: B- beauty A- age G - goodness/greatness S - size

beauty To say someone is goodlooking (handsome) or beautiful, we use the word: beau Jacob est un beau garçon. Notice that beau comes before garçon.

beauty The feminine form of beau is: belle Bella est une belle fille. Just like with beau, the adjective comes before the noun, because it is describing "beauty."

beauty The plural form of beau is: beaux – for masculine belles – for feminine

Regarde les beaux soldats. Regarde les belles fleurs.

Since it comes before the noun, it needs a special form for when the noun starts with a vowel... C’est un beau arbre. NON!!! C’est un bel arbre.

...but only when the vowel starting noun is masculine. In the feminine there is no problem so no special word is needed.... C’est une belle amie. – Sounds beautiful.

age To say someone is old we use the word: vieux Gandalf est un vieux magicien.

age But for a feminine noun we use the word vieille Elizabeth est une vieille reine.

age but when followed by a noun that starts with a vowel, we need a special form of vieux: vieil C'est un vieil artiste.

vieux, vieille, vieil, vieux, vieilles old

age To say something is new we use the word: nouveau M. Dupont est un nouveau professeur.

age When describing a feminine noun, we use the word: nouvelle Mme Bledel est une nouvelle professeur.

age When describing a masculine noun that starts with a vowel, we need a special word... nouvel J'ai un nouvel ordinateur.

goodness The word for good is.... bon Michael Phelps est un bon nageur.

goodness For feminine nouns we use: bonne Ethel est une bonne amie.

size We already know how to say something is big... C'est un grand crayon! C'est une grande fenêtre!

or small... C'est un petit livre! C'est une petite voiture!
