Sentences Placement<br />

As you have already learned, most adjectives come after the noun they modify in French.<br />

un homme intelligent - an intelligent man<br />

des hommes intelligents - intelligent men<br />

However, some common French adjectives, including beau, nouveau, and vieux come before the noun.<br />

une jolie voiture - a pretty car<br />

Des is replaced with de when an adjective comes before the noun.<br />

de jolies voitures - pretty cars<br />

Note that in informal speech, des is very often used in place of de.<br />
