Adjectives: after the noun, and agreeing, sentence 2

Describing words also change to match their noun, like a chameleon changing colour: add -e for a feminine word and -s for a plural one - un chat noir, une souris noire, des chats noirs.

Who acts: words · What happens: describe, change, match, add · To what, where: noun, e

The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (words), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
