Questions & Answers about Il a une chaussure bleue.
Why is the article “une” used instead of “un”?
Because “chaussure” is a feminine noun in French, and that requires the feminine indefinite article “une” rather than “un.”
Why does “bleue” have an extra ‘e’ at the end?
Adjectives in French agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. “Chaussure” is feminine, so “bleue” adds an ‘e’ to show this agreement.
Why does the color adjective come after the noun?
In French, most adjectives (including colors) typically come after the noun. Except for certain short or common adjectives, the norm is “noun + adjective.”
Why is “chaussure” singular if he only has one shoe?
“Chaussure” can refer to a single shoe or a type of shoe. It’s just stating that he has one blue shoe. If you want to say “shoes” in general, you would say “chaussures” in the plural form.
