The 50 Most Common French Adjectives

French Adjectives - A few important notes:

Master our list of French adjectives to take your French skills to the next level – do you know all 50 of these adjectives in French? Unlike in English, where adjectives are placed before the noun they are describing, in French, the position of the adjective can be either ahead or behind the noun, it is describing, most commonly following the noun. Additionally, french speakers must keep in mind the concept of masculine and feminine forms of words (eg. beaux and belle, or seul and seulle). Adjectives can also be modified by adverbs and the spelling must also match the singular or plural nature of the noun.
