A descriptive adjective is a word that describes a noun.

How are adjectives in French different than adjectives in English?
In French, adjectives must AGREE in gender and number with the noun that they modify.
Meaning, that if you have a feminine noun, then your adjective must be feminine as well.
You can think of this as the AAA rule.
AAA= ADJECTIVES ALWAYS AGREE
