Hi !!


Which phrase correctly completes this sentence ?



C'est la maison où je vivais auparavant, donc c'est "mon ancienne maison".

(this is the house where I lived before, so it's my old (previous,former) house".


correct answer = B


A- ma maison ancienne => false The adjective in this case has to be before *(see at the end)

B- mon ancienne maison ==> correct

maison is a feminine word , but you've to change "ma" by "mon" to avoid

2 vowels following ma ancienne. *(see at the end)

D- ma vieille maison = false . here vieux/vieille => old, aged (for a person)

D- ma maison vieille = the adjectif is false (see above)



vieux, vieille (viel) = old

ancien, ancienne = former,previous, where I used to live in this sentence.


vieille maison would be a really old house, in a bad shape, damaged (this case)


*

Some adjectives often are before the noun as =

joli(e), beau/bel (belle), vieux/vieil(vielle), bon (bonne), petit(e), jeune, nouveau/nouvel (nouvelle)....

un nouvel appartement (nouveau becomes nouvel masculin)

une jolie fille

un vieil homme (vieux ==> vieil)

un bel homme


*as you see , some adjectives when before a masculine word beginning by a vowel or a mute H have to change



hope this will help :)
