MASCULINE AND FEMININE adjectives - ending in "x"
ADJECTIVES 01 explained how adjectives in French need to *agree* with the masculine or feminine nouns they describe.
There are about 22 adjectives that you may wish to commit to memory [see also ADJECTIVES 07 and ADJECTIVES 08]. Let's start with those ending in "x", where the masculine plural form is the *same* as the masculine singular - the adjective "gris" follows this pattern also.
