Cheat Sheet

  1. Gender Agreement Basics -

    Mastering french adjective conjugation hinges on understanding that most adjectives add an "-e" in the feminine form (e.g., petit → petite). Remember exceptions like "beau" → "belle" and "vieux" → "vieille" by using the mnemonic "Boys Enjoy Unique Looks" to recall irregular feminine patterns. Consistent practice with resources like the Académie française guidelines will cement your french adjective agreement skills.

  2. Forming the Plural -

    In most cases, simply add "-s" to make adjectives plural (grand → grands), but watch for adjectives ending in "-eau," "-eu," or "-al," which become "-eaux," "-eux," or "-aux" (beau → beaux, original → originaux). A quick tip: group these under the "EXA" rule - Eau, Eu, Al - to remember their unique plurals. Consulting university-level style guides, such as those from Sorbonne University, can reinforce these irregular patterns.

  3. Spelling Shifts for -if, -eur, and -el -

    Adjectives ending in "-if," "-eur," and "-el" change spelling in feminine forms - "actif" → "active," "travailleur" → "travailleuse," "cruel" → "cruelle" - so always double-check the added letters. A handy trick is "FEE": For If → IVE, Eur → EUSE, El → ELLE. Cross-reference with CNRTL (Centre National de Ressources Textuelles) to verify correct iterations.

  4. Adjective Position and Nuance (BAGS) -

    Remember the BAGS rule (Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size): these adjectives often precede the noun (une petite maison), while others follow (une maison blanche). Changing position can subtly shift meaning - "mon ancien professeur" (my former teacher) vs. "un professeur ancien" (a very old teacher). Trusted academic sources like UCLA's French grammar pages affirm the impact of placement on nuance.

  5. Handling Irregular Adjectives -

    Some adjectives defy patterns - e.g., "fou" → "folle," "nouveau" → "nouvelle," "long" → "longue" - so create flashcards to quiz yourself and refer to Larousse's official listings for accuracy. Use the rhyme "Folks Need Long Journeys" to recall "fou/nouveau/long" transformations. Regular quizzes and review of official dictionaries ensure your french adjectives practice stays sharp and confident.
