Adjectives in French must agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the noun they describe.
Matching Gender: Generally, you add an -e to make an adjective feminine (e.g., petit becomes petite). Some change completely, like beau to belle.
Placement: Most adjectives come after the noun in French (un livre intéressant). However, short common adjectives describing Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, or Size (BANGS) often come before the noun (un beau film).
