Matching French Colors with Clothing

Let’s learn how to match colors in French with clothes! To start, we need to know some basic words.

Colors:

• Rouge (Red)
• Bleu (Blue)
• Vert (Green)
• Jaune (Yellow)

Clothing Items:

• Chemise (Shirt)
• Pantalon (Pants)
• Robe (Dress)
• Chaussures (Shoes)

Grammar:

In French, colors (or adjectives) change a little bit depending on the noun they describe. This is called agreeing in gender and number.

For example:

• Chemise rouge (Red shirt) – This is one shirt and it’s feminine.
• Pantalons bleus (Blue pants) – This means more than one pair of pants and it’s masculine.

Sample Sentences:

• J'ai une chemise verte. (I have a green shirt.)
• Ses chaussures jaunes sont belles. (His/her yellow shoes are beautiful. They are pretty.)

Now, it's your turn! Try to match each color with a clothing item!
