Descriptions Using Adjectives in French

The main topic of the Halloween description was to be able to make sentences with adjectives. This includes mostly describing something by the way it looks such as, “Le chat est noir”. We also learned the adjectives that go before the noun called BAGS adjectives. These are beauty, age, goodness, and size. These “BAGS” adjectives go before the noun instead of most adjectives, which come after the noun so you must remember these. When we did our personal descriptions we used the noun etre to describe ourselves which is an irregular  verb so it is not a pattern of the same endings such as “er”. In addition we learned the irregular verb “avoir”. These are useful for describing yourself and what you have because avoir mean to have, and etre means to be. And “I am” is a conjugation of etre. In fact, the conjugations of etre are: je suis, tu es, il/elle/on est, nous sommes, vous etes, and finally ils/elles sont. The conjugations for avoir are: j’ai, tu as, il/elle/on a, nous avons, vous avez, and finally, ils/elles ont. We have also learned the conjugations for “er” verbs which have in their group important verbs such as parler which means to speak. The conjugations are: je parle, tu parles, il/elle/on parle, nous parlons, vous parlez, and finally, ils/elles parlent.

This assignment was to describe items in a Halloween picture in French.
