les adjectifs

I. Most adjectives add an e for feminine and an s for plural:

singular plural
masc vert verts
fem verte vertes

This rule applies to adjectives that end in most consonants as well as those that end with é.


II. When the unmodified adjective ends in e, there is no difference between the masculine and feminine forms:

singular plural
masc rouge rouges
fem rouge rouges


III. When the unmodified adjective ends in s or x, there is no difference between the singular and plural masculine forms:

singular plural
masc gris gris
fem grise grises


IV. Irregular gender patterns:

Ending masc fem
-eux heureux heureuse
-eur flatteur flatteuse
-f naïf naïve
-er cher chère
-il
-el
-ul gentil
actuel
nul gentille
actuelle
nulle
-en canadien canadienne
-on bon bonne
-et complet complète


V. Irregular plural patterns:

Ending masc sing masc plural
-eau beau beaux
-al idéal idéaux


VI. Completely irregular:
