Prenominal French Adjectives

In French, most adjectives follow the noun, but a small group of common adjectives always come before it. These are often remembered as BAGS — Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size: beau, joli, vieux, jeune, bon, mauvais, grand, petit, gros, long. They are among the most frequently used adjectives in the language, so worth learning by heart. All ordinal numbers also precede the noun: le premier jour, la deuxième fois.
