Un petit chat A small cat (NB : cat is a //masculine// noun) Deux petit ** s ** chats 2 small cats Une petit ** e ** tortue A small tortoise (NB : tortoise is //feminine//) Deux petit ** es ** tortue 2 small tortoises
 * Examples: **

J’ai un grand chien blanc I have a big white dog. J’ai un ** e ** petit ** e ** souris brune I have a small brown mouse.
