In English, differentiate the way adjectives are used when speaking and writing in French. Can you identify a pattern? Illustrate using “la voiture” and the following adjectives: “beau”, “vert” . ▪ Type your response in the area provided. ▪ How can you make this plural? ▪ How can you change the article “la” to a possessive adjective to show that it belongs to you?
In English, adjectives come before the noun and do not have to agree with gender and subject. Voiture is feminine. To use the correct form of the adjective vert in plural, it has to agree with the subject and gender. Since "les voitures" is all feminine and plural, the adjective is vertes. This adjective comes after the noun since it does not describe Beauty, Age, Goodness/Badness, or Size. "Les voitures vertes." I'll let you work with "beau." It's a little different though.
Would the answer be Belle la voiture verte. Beau les voitures vetres. possessive la changes to le voiture
"Belle la voiture verte." Close, but the adjective describing beauty comes after the article: La belle voiture verte. "Les voitures" is feminine and plural, so you need to use the correct form of the adjective "beau." Masculine singular: Beau Masculine plural: Beaux Feminine singular: Belle Feminine plural: Belles And "la" is the article for a feminine noun. "Le" is the article for a masculine noun. The possessive adjectives are "mon" for a masculine noun, "ma" for a feminine noun, and "mes" for plural.
