Notes

For certain shapes, we prefer to use the adjective to describe the shape of objects. For “cercle” we will use “rond(e),” for “triangle,” “triangulaire,” and for “rectangle” “rectangulaire.”

To use these nouns to describe the shape of objects we usually, add the words “en forme de” in front of the shape. “De” becomes “d’” in front of a vowel or “h.”

For example:
Un ballon en forme d’étoile.

For “carré” and “ovale” we do not change anything, except that “carré” will take an extra “e” if the noun is feminine.
