In French, adjectives always agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In French, adjectives must agree in both gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) with the nouns they describe. This means that if you have a feminine singular noun, the adjective must also be in the feminine singular form, and the same applies to masculine and plural forms. For example, if you want to describe a "big cat" (un gros chat), "big" (gros) agrees with the masculine singular noun "chat." If you want to describe "big cats" (des gros chats), the adjective takes the plural form to agree with the plural noun. Adjective agreement is a fundamental aspect of French grammar.Rate this question:

The exclamation marks indicate a strong disagreement, with "Ouais!" meaning "Yeah!" or "Yes!" in French, and "Non!" meaning "No!" in French. The use of both positive and negative responses emphasizes the disagreement and implies that the practice quiz is not as effective as studying from the book.Rate this question:
