Key learning points
- To make adjectives feminine add -e, change -x to -se, -el to -elle, -en to -enne, -f to -ve, -er to -ère, or no change.
- To form plural adjectives we add -s, unless the adjective ends in -x or -s. -al and -eau change to -aux and -eaux.
- To make comparisons in French we use 'plus ... que', 'moins ... que' and 'aussi ... que' with adjectives and adverbs.
Keywords
Adjective - a word that gives information about a noun
Comparative - a form of adjective or adverb used to compare people, things or ideas
Common misconception
To make a comparative adjective in French, add the suffix -er to an adjective.
Most comparatives are formed using 'plus ... que' (more ... than), 'moins ... que' (less ... than), and 'aussi ... que' (as ... as). The adjective to compare goes in the middle and agrees with gender and number of the noun being compared.
Equipment
A mini whiteboard and pen, together with pen and paper for making notes, would be useful, if available.
