This article is for everyone, the adults, teenagers and children.

The gender
I introduce you the gender (masculine and feminine) of the adjectives and the jobs.
A feminine word = maculine + -e
Il est étudiant – elle est étudiante → He/she is a student
Il est gand – elle est grande → He/she is tall
Il est marié – elle est mariée → He/she is married
Exception : Il est jeune – elle est jeune (there is no change) → He/she is young
-en becomes -ienne
Il est italien – elle est italienne → He/she is italian
Il est lycée – elle est lycéenne → He/she is a high school student
Pronunciation
For a masculine word, we do not pronounce the last letter -s, -d,-t, but we pronounce them for a feminine word.
Il est anglais, grand, intelligent - Elle est anglaise, gande, intelligente → He is English, tall, intelligent
