#adjective placement

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.
Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.
Generally speaking, most French adjectives come after the noun they are describing. However there are exceptions: some adjectives come before the noun, while there are others who change their meaning depending on whether they come before or after. Learn adjective placement with Lingolia, then test yourself in the free exercises.
First entry of the table
The adjective « ancien » can change its meaning depending on its placement.
When placed before the noun, it means "former".
e.g. Mon ancien professor de chimie a été viré.
-# - ("My former chemistry professor was fired.")
When placed after the noun, it means "ancient".
e.g. Ce monument ancien est magnifique !
-# - ("This ancient monument is magnificent!")
There are other adjectives that behave like this, and you can find them in the webpage that @lyric nova provided above. 👍
