ADJECTIVES- GENDER


FRENCH
French has two genders, masculine and feminine.

  • Some French adjectives are converted from feminine to masculine by removing the -e.
  • For some adjectives, there is no change from feminine to masculine.

  • Some French masculine adjectives end with -euse in the feminine, this changes to -eux for the masculine.
