Adjective Placement
Adjectives are most often placed after the noun. However, in some cases,
they may be placed before.
For example:
Le chien est petit. — The dog is small.
Le petit chien. — The small dog.
Adjectives must agree with the gender (and number) of a noun:
La petite maison. — The small house.
(Using the feminine form of “petit”)
