Questions & Answers about Je vois six grands arbres ici.
How is the number six pronounced in this sentence?
I thought French adjectives usually come after the noun. Why is it grands arbres instead of arbres grands?
You are right that most adjectives come after the noun! However, a small group of common, short adjectives go before the noun. You can remember them with the acronym BAGS: Beauty, Age, Goodness, and Size. Since grand (big or tall) describes Size, it goes before the noun.
Why does grands have an "s" at the end?
Do I pronounce the "s" at the end of grands?
