Question
Bangs really confuse me:(
Could I get a few notes on them please, I already checked the internet.
B stands for beauty
A stands for age
N stands for number
G stands for goodness
S stands for size
These are all adjectives, what confuses me is that are they supposed to come after the noun or before?

Clever! Unlike English adjectives, most descriptive adjectives in French FOLLOW the noun they modify.
une porte secrète
les vins blancs
Some short descriptive adjectives that usually precede the noun are:
beau (B for beauty)
jeune/vieux (A for age)
dernier/premier/plusieurs (N for number)
bon (G for goodness)
grand/petit/gros (S for size)
But there are others as well:
court/long
gentil
quelque/quelques
tel
tout (precedes the article = toute la maison)
Then there are adjectives that have two or more meanings, depending upon the position (after or before)
Sra (aka M me)
joli
mauvais
nouveau
vilain
autre
chaque

There are masculine forms, feminine forms, and plural forms as well right?
