A word is known to be an adjective, when it can be properly joined with the word personne, or the word chose. In French the adjective takes the gender and number of the substantive to which it relates. This difference of gender and number is generally marked by the termi- nation. Whenever the adjective does not end in c mute, the e mute is added to form its feminine. Adjectives ending in -r change -x into s 2 and take e mute.

This house is well situated. This pear Elle — Cette maison, f. She is tall and well formed. This person is very unsteady. This road is not very safe. The door is not iagne f. Xhis room is dark. This street is too narrow. She has carnation lips. Sa memory will be immortal.

F very adjective forms its plural by the simple addition of s, as. This rule is without exception as it regards the feminine termination ; but the mascutoe 3ias the four following exceptions.

Adjectives ending in -s or -. Polysyllables ending in -nt, according to the most general practice, drop the t in the plural masculine, as excellent, excellens ; but monosyllables retain it, as lent. The adjective tout, all, makes tous. The two new operas de beau bijou m. This fruit is excellent. Those ladies are tired with walking. Yon voir 2 lei. The four cardinal points are the east. Grammarians commonly reckon three degrees of comparison ; the positive, the comparative, and the su- perlative. The positive is the adjective expressing the quality of an object, without any increase, or diminution, as beau, belle.

An ingenuous candour, an amiable simplicity and a le monde. The comparative of superiority is formed by putting plus, more, before the adjective, and que, than, after it. The comparative of inferiority is formed by prefix- ing moins, less, to the adjective, and adding que, than, after it. La violette est moins belle que la The violet is less beautiful than rose.

Shipwreck and death are less fatal than the pleasure art. Autumn is less varied than de art. The comparative of equality is formed by placing aus si, as, before the adjective, and que, as, after it. Pope's images are as perfect as his style is hai de Pope 2 art. OS aire, as scarce as true genius. The love of our neighbour — f. It is qs easy art. The three following adjectives, meilleur, better, pire, worse, moindre, less, are comparatives in themselves. As most beginners are apt to confound these comparative adjectives with the comparative adverbs,: Meilleur, better, is the comparative of lon r good, and is used instead of plus bon, which is never said, o'!

Rule IL When the adjective relates to two substan- tives singular of the same gender, it must be put in the plural, and agree with them in gender.

When the two substantives, to which the adjective relates, are of different genders, the adjective is to be put in the masculine plural. Ignorance and self-love arc — re! Numbers are divided into five classes, viz. Un millier is very often employed for one thousand weight, but quintal is never used except in the sense ot dne hundred weight.

The distributive numbers are those wiiich express the different parts of a whole: A pronoun is a word substituted in the place of a noun. There are several kinds of pronouns, as the personal. Personal Pronouns are used for the names of persons or things. There are three persons: We have told the truth What were content do moi? Politeness has led to the use of the plural vous, instead of the singular tu: I was telling] lempjt 2 appris 1 art.

How amiable you are! I il tu thou as-tu dit? Plural, fnous we irons nous? I vous you yiendrez-vous? II, le, ils, eux, are always masculine: All personal pronouns, when subjects, are placed before their verbs, except in interrogative sentences, and most of them likewise, when objects precede them, except in the imperative affirmative. Hz was saying, to them , do you not know ant disait the property of merit is to excite envy?

Of those that always agree with a noun expressed, some relate to one person, and others to several. C 1st mon, m. My principles, my love of retirement, my taste. His wit, his talents, his. Of the pronouns, which always agree with nouns un- derstood, some relate to one person, and others to several persons.

Those which relate only to one person are: Le tien, lu tienne, les liens, les tiennes, thine 3d. The real use of these pronouns is to spare the repetition of the nouns, which have been expressed a lit- tle before. Avtz-vous toujours votre che- Have you still your horse 1 I Ml? Is it your temper or hers, that hinders you from living well ce humeur f. Relative pronouns are those which relate to a pre- ceding noun, or pronoun, called tfie antecedent.

In the phrase, V homme qui joue, the man who plays ; qui re- lates to the substantive homme ; nomme is then the an- tecedent to the pronoun relative qui.

The Verb is a word, the chief use of which is to ex press affirmation: In the phrase, la vertu est aimable, virtue is amiable. That concerning which we affirm, or deny a thing, is called the subject, and what is affirmed, or denied, is call- ed its attribute.

In the two preceding sentences vertu and vice are subjects of the verb est, and aimable is the attribute affirmed respecting the one, and denied with re Rpect to the other. There are in verbs two numbers, the singular and plu- al, and in each number three persons. The third is the person spoken of, known by il, I he, or elle, she, in the singular, and by Us, or elles, I they, in the plural ; as, il, or elle pense, he, or she; thinks ; ils, or elles pensent, they think. All substantives, either common, or proper, are of the third person, when not addressed, or spoken to.

There are five moods, or modes of conjugating erbs. The indicative simply indicates and asserts a in a direct manner ; as, j'aime, I love ; il he loved. S The subjunctive subjects a thing to what pre- cedes ; as vous voulez, qu'il aime, you wish that he may love ; que nGus aimions, that we may v love. There are three tenses, the present, which declares a thing now existing, or doing, as, je lis, I read ; the past, or preterit, denoting that the thing has been done, as, j'ai lu, I have read ; the future, denoting that the thing will be done, as, je lirai, I shall read.

But these are subdivided, so that there are several preterit, and two future tenses. There are five kinds of verbs, the active, passive, neu- ter, pronominal, and impersonal. The verb active is that which expresses an action , the object of which is either declared, or understood. The object of this action is called the regimen,or goverment of the verb active. The verb neuter, is that which has no direct regimen, as the verb active has.

Aller, to go ; marcher, to walk, are verbs neuter, because we cannot say, aller quel- qu'un, to go somebody ; marcher quelque chose, to walk something. Plaire to please, is likewise a verb neuter. H The impersonal verb is only used in the third person singular, with the pronoun il, and has no relation to any person or thing. Regu- lar verbs are those which are conjugated conformably to a general standard. Irregular verbs are those which do not conform to the verb employed as a model ; and de- fective verbs are those which, in certain tenses, or per- sons, are not used.

To conjugate a verb is to rehearse it with all its differ ont inflections. The trench have four conjugations, which are easily distinguished by the termination of the present of the in- finitive. Thou hast had plaisir m. He has had patience. She has had beauty. We have or m. You have had friendship. They have had sensibility. They had lemons m. I had had apricots. Thou hadst had nectarine?

Observe that, when the verb is followed by several substantives, the proper article and preposition must be epeated before each. Let him have modesty, and more correct idea? Let her have more decency.
