L'adjectif qualificatif
Est un mot qui nous fait connaître
Un défaut, une qualité,
Une façon d'être ou d'avoir été.
Exemple:
Ma tante est dingo
Mon oncle est timbré.
Mon frère est marteau
Tout l'monde est cinglé.
Mais la conduite de ma mère
Ne se qualifie guère,
Et la manière d'être de Papa
Ne se qualifie pas.
L'adjectif qualificatif
Est un mot qui nous fait connaître
Un défaut, une qualité,
Une façon d'être ou d'avoir été.

The qualifying adjective
Is a word which connotes
A defect, a quality,
A manner of being or having been.
Example:
My aunt is goofy
My uncle is nuts.
My brother is a little nuts
The whole world is bonkers.
But the behavior of my mother
Can hardly be qualified,
And the manner of being a dad
Can’t be qualified.
The qualifying adjective
Is a word which connotes
A defect, a quality,
A manner of being or having been.
