Also, the adjective agrees with the subject, so you have to add e and s to the comparative.Fill in the blanks below with the correct verbs and adjectives. The adjective you will need to use is at the end of the sentence.Your verb will be either "est" or "sont" and your adjective will agree with the first item! (If you can't remember if something is masculine or feminine, go to your vocab sheet!) 1. Les petits pois sont plus petits que les haricots verts. (petit)2. La confiture est aussi bonne que le pain.

Les crevettes sont plus chères que les saucissons. 1. Le poulet est plus cher que les saucissons.2. Les cornichons(m) sont plus chers que la mayonnaise.3. Les crevettes(f) sont aussi chères que le poisson.4. Les pommes(f) sont moins chères que les fraises.5. Le jus d'orange est plus cher que le coca.6. Les macarons(m) sont aussi chers que la tarte. Lequel est meilleur? Remember that when you want to say “better” in French, you can’t say plus bon. You must use meilleur. But you can use plus mauvais to say that something is worse. Below, write 4 sentences telling foods that are better or worse than something else. Don't forget thatyou still need to add e or s to meilleur or mauvais to make it agree!!Ex. Les crevettes sont meilleures que le poisson. Le poisson est plus mauvais que les crevettes.Remember that the adjective has to agree with the FIRST food. If I changed these sentences around, the adjective would change.Ex: Le poisson est meilleur que les crevettes. Les crevettes sont plus mauvaises que le poisson.Since "crevettes" is feminine and plural, the adjective that describes it must have e and s added to the end!
