A GOOD GUIDE TO THE USE OF ADJECTIVES
POSITION OF ADJECTIVES
Adjectives AFTER the noun
In English we usually put most adjectives before the noun. In French, however, most adjectives come after the noun, including:
1. Adjectives indicating colour or shape
Une robe rouge - a red dress
2. Adjectives of origin, religion, profession, classification or those that refer to the arts
Une fille française - a French girl
3. Those formed by a past or present particIple
La semaine passée - Last week
Le jour fatiguant - the tiring day
Adjectives BEFORE the noun
The following adjectives usually go before the noun.
Autre (other) | Petit (small) |
Jeune (young) | Vilain (ugly, naughty) |
Même (same) | Bon (good) |
Haut (high) | Grand (big, great) |
Joli (pretty) | Gros (fat) |
Mauvais (bad) | Long (long) |
Méchant (bad, naughty) | Gentil (nice) |
Meilleur (better, best) | Beau (handsome, beautiful) |
Vieux (old) | Nouveau (new) |
Vrai (true) |
When 2 adjectives have the same position they can be joined by the conjunction ‘et’
Une femme intéressante et intelligente An interesting and intelligent woman
If an adjective is an integral part of the noun, another adjective can follow it without using ‘et’
Un petit jeune homme A small young man
Adjectives that change meaning according to position
Some adjectives have a different meaning depending on whether they precede or follow the noun
Eg Un triste livre - a poor worthless book
Un livre triste – a sad book

BY THE WAY...
Have you been watching the Tour de France? If you're up and watching, check out the start - Gabriel Gaté sums up the cuisine of the area, including specialities and a recipe. Might be a good idea to tape one on the region of your choice - then when I ask you to do a presentation, you'll have a lovely visual!
ALSO, looking forward to seeing you on the Wiki during these hols!!!!

HOLIDAY HOMEWORK!
Map of France
On the map of France you were given, fill in the names of all the regions IN FRENCH, and the capital of each region. Don't do departments, there are too many (100) and you will go mad.
Choose a region
Choose ONE region and research its cuisine.
These are key points to research:
1. What fresh produce is the region particularly noted for? eg Normandy - apples (amongst others.)
2. What specialities of the region are made from this fresh produce? eg cider.
3. What cheese(s) are particular to the region? What are they like? How made? From which animal's milk? etc
4. Is there a notable wine of the region?
5. Is the regional cuisine influenced by its proximity to another country, or the sea etc? And how so?
6. Find a couple of interesting regional dishes, and their recipes. The French tend to eat animals and bits of animals that are unfamiliar to Australians - that makes for interesting dishes!
ALL THE ABOVE INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE POSTED ON YOUR BLOG BY THURSDAY 21 JULY.
