8 Masculine and Feminine Colours We already know that French nouns are either masculine (le/un) or feminine (la/une). When we use adjectives (like colours) to describe these nouns, we need to make sure that they match or agree. That is to say, masculine objects have masculine colours to describe them and feminine objects have feminine colours to describe them. The table below shows us the masculine and feminine versions of these colours. English Masculine (le/un) Feminine (la/une) Green Vert Verte Blue Bleu Bleue Grey Gris Grise Black Noir Noire Can you see the pattern? What do we add on the end for feminine versions of these colours? Some colours don t need to change at all. Can you see why? English Masculine (le/un) Feminine (la/une) Orange Orange Orange Red Rouge Rouge Yellow Jaune Jaune Pink Rose Rose There are 3 colours which are very different from the rest: English Masculine (le/un) Feminine (la/une) White Blanc Blanche Purple Violet Violette Brown Marron Marron SJE

11 Colours go last! In French, the colour always comes after the object (noun) it is describing. This is the opposite of English and very important to remember! Un stylo bleu = A blue pen (literally: a pen blue) Une gomme bleue* = A blue rubber (literally: a rubber blue) *Remember: bleue has an e on the end because gomme is a feminine word! (See page 8). 18.

13 Plural Colours We know that colours change when the noun is masculine or feminine. We call this agreement. They also usually change when there s more than one of the noun. This is really easy to do: look at the table below and see if you can spot the pattern. Singular (one object) Plural (many objects) English Masculine Feminine Masculine Feminine (la/une) Green Vert Verte Verts Vertes Blue Bleu Bleue Bleus Bleues Grey Gris Grise Gris Grises Black Noir Noire Noirs Noires White Blanc Blanche Blancs Blanches Purple Violet Violette Violets Violettes Yellow Jaune Jaune jaunes Jaunes Pink Rose Rose Roses Roses Red Rouge Rouge Rouges Rouges Brown Marron Marron Marron Marron Orange Orange Orange Orange Orange What do you usually do to a colour when there is more than one object?
