In French an adjective is a word whose main role is to modify a noun or pronoun, giving more information about the noun or pronoun's definition. Some examples are: That is a green tree. I met a very old man. In French adjectives come either before (most of the case) or after the noun they describe and sometimes the meaning can be different or contain a nuance: « L'ancienne maison » (the old house, in the meaning it’s our previous house) or « la maison ancienne » (the old house).
