Doubt in meilleur/ meilleure

Bonjour Cécile,

In the lesson, a sentence has been given 

"La vanille,c'est bon,mais le chocolat,c'est meilleur."

If the sentence is inversed,as-

"Le chocolat,c'est bon,mais la vanille,c'est meilleure."

Would in this case "meilleur" be used or "meilleure"?

Please explain the reason behind it also.

Merci d'avance.

Hi Varsha,

It is because of 'c'est' -

If you take a look at the following lesson -

https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/adjectives-following-cest-are-always-masculine

You will see that 'c'est' is always followed by a masculine form.

Hope this helps!
