Show transcript
Adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in French. They can be either masculine or feminine. Regular feminine adjectives add an -e: une voiture lente. This is a SFe (silent final e). In English, adjectives come before the noun: 'a grey bike'. In French, most adjectives go after the noun: 'un vélo gris'. These are called postnominal adjectives. 'J'ai' means 'I have' and 'tu as' means 'you have'. These are singular forms of the verb 'avoir'.
