(1.) When it is used after its substantive, it se far "agrées with it " as to be attracted into the gender of that substantive, but it does not pass into the plural number : e.g., " Songez qu'un vivant qui critique un mort doit avoir raison et demie" — (D'Alemhert). " Bref, sans considérer censure, ni demie." — {La Fontaine). But "Il a étu.dié deux ans et demi, i.e., deux ans et un demi an."
