Using colours to describe singular nouns

In French, nouns belong to either a masculine or feminine group. So an adjective needs to be either masculine or feminine, like the noun it is describing.

This means that the spelling of the adjective changes to match the gender of the noun. This is called an agreement.

Regular adjectives, such as vert (green), noir (black) and bleu (blue), follow the same pattern when their spellings change.

For example, when you describe a masculine noun, regular colour adjectives look the same as those in the list above.

  • Je porte un pull bleu - I am wearing a blue jumper

When you describe a feminine noun, you add an e at the end of the regular adjective:

  • Je porte une jupe bleue - I am wearing a blue skirt
