Typically, adjectives that describe beauty, age, goodness, and size come before the noun and can be memorized using the acronym B.A.G.S. Some examples: une jolie fille - pretty girl un jeune homme - young man une nouvelle maison - new house un bon enfant - good child un petit problème - small problem les sincères condoléances - sincere condolences les vagues promesses - vague promises un gentil garçon - kind boy Here is a link with more information that I hope you find useful. http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/adjectives_4.htm
