If is was saying
Les hommes, en general, sont formidable.
Would I put an S after the e in formidable? to make it:
Les hommes, en general, sont formidables.
I don't know if I am supposed to add an s to make adjectives plural or not.
Thanks
You must have just started out studying French.
The answer is "yes". Adjectives have plural and singular forms. Some also have masculine and feminine forms to agree with the noun they are describing.
But not always an 's'. the plural of beau is beaux for example. You need to ask your teacher or get a good French grammar book.
Les hommes sont formidables.
This is the right spelling.....
yeah If they end in a u you put an x instead I think, was just making sure, my text book isn't the greatest

If this is from your textbook, it appears that i was written by a non-native speaker of French, very likely a native speaker of English, with a limited grasp of the French language.
Ce sont des mecs.
Sont-ce réellement des mecs, ces hommes formidables?
(L'homme est une femme comme les autres).

No, I had to form the statement and I was making sure I put an s after formidiable. Can you people not read?

Same question to you.

I already replied to him, it's obvious he can read, but not so obvious you can, or the thread would of ended with his post.

Why do I think this guy is going to have some problems with language learning?
Also, nobody noticed my ants joke.
I did, but didn't think it needed my comment.
Maybe it was because of the formiation of your joke.
Ce mec là, il m'énerve.

I really like my French class. My teacher has a doctorate in French and lived there for 20 years, so she is a little hard, but it's an enjoyable language to learn(unlike Spanish). By the way, I have an A. Your hindsight is excellent contrex.
It's really nice that you know the A.
Try a B, now..
(Just kidding)...

In rereading this silly damned thread, i just noticed this. I suggest that Blind brush up on his/her English, too.

Now you see why I posted what I did.
I see that now . . . i got distracted by your reference to the ants joke . . . bad formi on my part, i know . . .
I saw it, but I don't think 'blinded' did.
Just a reader here. I don't know french, though I tend to be able to read at least parts of menus. Can't pronounce even those words correctly, though.
I suppose I could try to learn some of the basics online, one of these days.
In high school I took four years of latin, while most of my pals took 2 of latin and 2 of french. I rue the day...
On the other hand, I got to play Cato in a school play and wear a sheet. (It was a girls' school, thus the casting.)
