Note:
In French, nouns and adjectives have a gender. Ex: vert/e = vert is the masculine
form of green, verte is the feminine form. Almost all adjectives agree in gender and
number with the noun they modify (except marron and orange, as well as colors
that are modified with the words clair-light and foncé-dark) and most are placed
after the noun. Un carré brun would be a brown square and une boîte noire would
be a black box.
