How does the place of adjectives work in French?

General Rule

• Most adjectives follow the noun they modify.
  • un chat noir (a black cat
  • deux robes neuves (two new dresses)
  • trois hôtels français (three French hotels)

Exceptions

However, there are exceptions to the rule – of course 🙂

• The following adjectives are often in front of the noun
  • bon/ne (good)
  • grand/e (big, tall)
  • jeune (young)
  • mauvais/e (bad)
  • nouveau, nouvelle (new)
  • petit/e (small)
  • vieux, vieille (old)
  • joli/e (pretty)
  • gros/se (fat)
  • court/e (short)
