Questions & Answers about Il travaille dans une grande entreprise.
Why does travaille end in "-e"? Doesn't the "he" form need an "-s" like in English?
How do you pronounce the -ille part of travaille?
Why does grande come before entreprise? I thought French adjectives go after the noun.
You are right that most French adjectives go after the noun! However, a small group of very common adjectives goes before the noun. A common trick to remember them is the acronym BANGS, which stands for Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, and Size. Since grande (big) describes Size, it goes before the noun.
Why is there an "e" at the end of grande?
