14. How does it work?
For example, how do you say a green head?
La tête is feminine in French, it’s a red noun,
therefore, we need to match it with an
adjective that ends in red
vert verte verts vertes
Amongst the 4 choices given above, only one is
right: the one that end in red, verte

16. Now a bit more difficult…
• Some nouns are plural ( you’ve got two ears, two eyes ...). In
order to match those nouns with the right adjective, you also
need to know whether the word is masculine and plural or
feminine and plural. Or to make it easy: blue and green or red
and green:
Here are two examples:
• Les cheveux
vert verte verts vertes
• Les dents
blanc blanche blancs blanches
