In the French language, adjectives must agree in gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the nouns they modify. This agreement is crucial for proper sentence construction and comprehension.

Gender Agreement

• Adjectives describing masculine nouns take the masculine form, typically ending in a consonant or an unaccented -e.
• Adjectives describing feminine nouns take the feminine form, typically ending in -e.

Example:

• Un livre intéressant (a masculine noun, so the adjective is masculine)
• Une histoire intéressante (a feminine noun, so the adjective is feminine)

Number Agreement

• Adjectives describing singular nouns remain in their singular form.
• Adjectives describing plural nouns take the plural form, typically by adding -s.

Example:

• Un livre intéressant (singular noun, singular adjective)
• Des livres intéressants (plural noun, plural adjective)

Exceptions and Special Cases

• Some adjectives have irregular feminine and/or plural forms (e.g., beau/belle, nouveau/nouvelle, vieux/vieille).
• Certain adjectives remain invariable, meaning they do not change form regardless of the noun's gender or number (e.g., rose, marron, violet).
• Adjectives derived from proper nouns or adjectives used as nouns often remain invariable (e.g., une robe bleu marine, des chaussures marron foncé).

Mastering adjective agreement is crucial for accurate and natural-sounding French communication, both in written and spoken forms.
