In French grammar,nouns have either a male or female gender,so adjectives(形容词) take different forms for each.English has only one adjective that does this,and it came from French.The word blond describes someone with lightcolored hair.Blond is used for men,and blonde describes women.And they are also nouns.
Some French words that entered the English language have taken on completely different meanings.The French phrase a la mode means “in style”.In English,the phrase means “with ice cream”.Someone must have decided something eaten with ice cream was in style!
Now,as you learn English,you’re on your way to learning French!
