#70 : Adjectives that comes 'before' AND 'after' the noun 🫠
Confusing stuffs for Lauren
Hello friends! Yesterday, I was revising adjectives and realised I had forgotten where French adjectives are generally placed. "Is it before or after the noun? Some come before, and others come after..."
Just a heads up, I'm not a professional teacher, but rather another learner. The information I share might not be entirely accurate.
I turned to my own post to review it again 🫣. Most adjectives are placed after the noun, while some are placed before. (For more examples and explanations, check out the post below👇)
#47: Position of French adjectives
Bonjour les amis, j’espère que vous allez bien. Aujourd’hui, je voudrais partager quelque chose : je me suis trompée sur l’ordre des adjectifs. Profitez-en si vous faites aussi la même erreur. C'est parti!
Today, I discovered something even more fascinating: some adjectives can be placed in BOTH positions! PLUS, depending where you put the adjective, the meaning slightly changes too!
This is something I’ve never seen explained clearly in one place, so I thought it would be useful to share here.
For my French studies, I started using the InnerFrench Foundation Course, and the list is from his course (you can check it out here: InnerFrench Foundation Course). Hello Hugo! If you happen to read this and would like me to take down the post, let me know 🥹.
I already knew that the meaning of an adjective changes depending on its position, but I never realised just how many adjectives this applies to—or how drastically (in my opinion) their meanings can change. Personally, I find this a bit overwhelming, so I plan to make mistakes and be corrected by other people.
I’d also like to recommend his latest podcast for the new year 🥂: « Apprendre le français en 2025 ». What are your resolutions for 2025? Do they include learning French? Share your resolutions with all!
