HI Dragana,

Indeed, these examples are all feminine and plural forms of adjectives-

Des pierres précieuses = Precious stones

Des averses glaciales = Icy showers

Des boissons fraîches = Cold drinks

Des chemises chères = Expensive shirts

Des pommes rouges = Red Apples

Hope this helps!

I think the point of Dragana's question is that only the masculine plural endings are given in this lesson. The reason, I suppose, is that only the masculine endings are irregular - the feminine endings are just -ales as normal.
