The adjectives “big” and “small”
The vast majority of adjectives go AFTER the noun.
There are just a small number that go before the noun (as in English).
The most common examples are “big” (grand) and “small” (petit).
J’ai un grand livre – I have a big bookJ’ai un petit crayon – I have a small pencil
