Noun Genders and Adjectives

Noun genders and adjectives

in french , nouns ( words which represent objects,peop pe or ideas) have a gender, they can be either feminine or masculine. un voyage( a journy) is masculine,une aneea ( a year) is femenine , des vacances( holidays) is femenine but also plural. the gender of noun does not any logical pattern so you will need to be aware of the gender of every noun you learn.

Bon,bonne and bons , bonnes are four forms of the same adjective ( a word which describe a noun). in french, adjectives take the same gender as the noun they describe, so we have masculine and feminine adjectives that can both be singular one item or plural ( more than one item.

French adjectives are split differently according to their genders . generally ( but not always) an -e at the end of an adjective is for feminine an -s is for plural and the base form is for masculine.

masculine-(singular)- un bon raison( a good grape), Plural- des bons raisons ( good grapes)

Feminine- une bonne pomme ( a good apple) , plural- des bonnes pommes ( good apples).

{ des = some/ more than one}

keep in mind--- in the plural form , most french speakers use DES in front of a noun preceded by an adjective ( eg des bons fruits) in everyday conversation. you might also hear the  s of des dropped in more formal french.
