Souvent confondu avec
Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns, while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Notes d'usage
In English, multiple adjectives must follow a specific sequence: opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material, and purpose. For example, we say 'a beautiful large old round brown French wooden dining table' rather than mixing the order.
Erreurs courantes
A common mistake is trying to pluralize an adjective to match a plural noun; adjectives in English remain singular regardless of the noun's number (e.g., 'the big houses', not 'the bigs houses').
