2) The grammatical gender of French nouns has been indicated using the articles “le” (masculine) or “la” (feminine). All nouns which have the article “l’” have been shown with their gender, for example:
year l’année f
All plural translations have been marked with the gender of the singular noun, as well as the plural marker, for example:
trainers les baskets fpl
Feminine forms of nouns have been shown with the masculine form as the main translation:
salesperson le vendeur / la vendeuse
3) In general, the masculine form of adjectives only has been shown for vocabulary items and in phrases, for example:
annoyed mécontent
I’m tired. Je suis fatigué.
However, in some cases both forms are shown:
I’m married/divorced. (man) Je suis marié / divorcé.
I’m married/divorced. (woman) Je suis mariée / divorcée.
Remember that, in French, the adjective often changes depending on whether the noun it describes is masculine or feminine. Often the adjective only adds an “e” to the end, so “content” becomes “contente” and “fatigué” becomes “fatiguée”. However, there are some adjectives that take different endings in the feminine form, or don’t change at all.
The adjective form also changes if you are talking about a person or object in the singular or in the plural. Usually, the plural form of the adjective is formed by adding “-s” (for masculine nouns) or “-es” (for feminine nouns) to the end of the word.
The girls are tired. Les filles sont fatiguées.
