Why is the adjective entière spelled with a grave accent and an e at the end?
Why use journée instead of jour for the English word day?
Why does entière come after the noun it describes?
Unlike English, most adjectives in French are placed immediately after the noun. Only a small group of common adjectives (describing beauty, age, goodness, or size) go before the noun. Entière follows the standard rule and goes after journée.
