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
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?
