\nThe following is by my understanding.<\/p>\n\n
As I mention in my post from Sept 27, 2026,<\/a> adjectives in English don’t change according to the nouns they describe. In contrast, in French they do: it’s called agreement.<\/p>\n \nTypical agreement might mean adding an -e to the adjective if it describes a feminine noun, or -s for plural, or -es for feminine plural.<\/p>\n \nHowever, some French adjectives, for agreement with nouns, might change more than just adding -e, -s, or -es. One example is blanc (white), which adds -he for feminine. Therefore, we have un crayon blanc<\/em> (a white pencil: pencil is masculine) but une voiture blanche<\/em> (a white car: car is feminine). A listener will notice that blanc<\/em> and blanche<\/em> sound different as well.<\/p>\n \nThere are numerous other examples of irregular adjectives in French; hopefully I will visit some in future posts. The concept that they exist is perhaps the most important idea, so one knows to watch out for them.<\/p>\n \nSource:<\/p>\n Kenney,M. Burville,V., Hickox,B., Hill,J., Potter,C. (1977).
