Show transcript
Adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in French. They can be either masculine or feminine. Regular adjectives add an -e in the feminine form. 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'.
