Lesson Transcript

Do you know any French adjectives?
Welcome to Three Step French Practice by FrenchPod101.com. In this lesson, you will practice how to describe something with adjectives.
Let's look at the main dialogue.
Two people are having a conversation in the store. They are discussing computers.
Excusez-moi, quel ordinateur est-ce que vous conseillez ?
"Excuse me, which computer do you recommend?"
Et bien, cet ordinateur est très rapide.
"Well, this computer is very fast."
cet ordinateur est très rapide
rapide
In this sentence, rapide is the adjective, and it means "fast." Let's practice with more adjectives in this lesson.
In French, adjectives change based on gender and number.
To make an adjective feminine, you usually just add -e.
Simple, right?
The gender of the noun also affects demonstrative adjectives, as seen in these patterns:
ce or cet + masculine noun + est + masculine adjective
this + masculine noun + is + masculine adjective
cette + feminine noun + est + feminine adjective
this + feminine noun + is + feminine adjective
Let's practice this grammar point more in this lesson.
