Adjectives provide information about nouns. In English, adjectives precede the nouns they describe. In French, adjectives normally (but not always) follow then nouns they modify.
In French, adjectives agree with their subjects in both gender and number. Feminine adjectives typically end with an -e. When the adjective modifies a plural noun, it ends with an -s.
Exception: If the adjective ends with an -e, there is no distinction between the male and female.
Votre maison est extraordinaire!
Exception: If the adjective ends with an -s, there is no distinction between the singular and plural.
