Breakdown of Les gens ici sont très drôles.
Questions & Answers about Les gens ici sont très drôles.
Why is there an s on the end of drôles?
In French, adjectives have to match the noun they describe. Because Les gens (the people) is plural, we add an s to the singular adjective drôle to make it plural too. Is drôles in the masculine or feminine form here?
Les gens is a masculine plural noun, so drôles is masculine plural. However, because the base word drôle already ends in an e, it doesn't change for the feminine form. We just add an s for the plural either way! Do I pronounce the s at the end of gens and drôles?
No, the s at the end of both words is completely silent. When speaking, you know the sentence is plural because of the word Les and the verb sont. Could I say Les gens sont très drôles ici instead?
Yes, you can! Just like in English, you can move ici (here) to the end of the sentence. Putting it right after Les gens just emphasizes that we are talking about the people here specifically. Learn Les gens ici sont très drôles and more in French
