Possession
To express possession we use the verb avoir (to have) + a noun.

| J’ai une voiture → I have a car | Vous avez une belle voiture → You have a nice car |
| J’ai un chien → I have a dog | Vous avez un beau chien → You have a nice dog |
Do not say je ai but j’ai.
Pay attention to pronounce it vous avez like vou’z’avez.
You say the letter –s like the lettter –z.
| J’ai un appartement → I have an apartment | Vous avez une maison → you have a house |

Where do we put the adjective ?
The adjective comes after the noun.
J’ai une voiture verte → I have a green car
J’ai une voiture française → I have a French car
J’ai une voiture économique → I have an economical car
There are exceptions : the adjectives
Beau / joli → beautiful
Bon → good
Petit → little
Grand → big, tall

They come before the noun.
