An explanation of how French adjectives must agree with their nouns with regard to their gender and plurality
Position of adjectives
Most adjectives in French come after the noun, unlike in English. For example:
la jupe rouge - the red skirt (literally, in English, the skirt which is red)
c’est un dessert anglais - it’s an English dessert
Agreement of adjectives
An adjective is a word that describes a noun. In French, adjectives must agree with their noun, which means that they have to show whether they are masculine or feminine and singular or plural to match the noun.
il porte une veste blanche - he’s wearing a white jacket
il y a des recettes délicieuses dans ce livre - there are delicious recipes in this book
