Adjective agreement, physical descriptions, forms of être

Elle est...

• amusant

• amusants

• amusante

• amusantes

Answer explanation

You are looking for the feminine singular (one girl), so -e.

Il est...

• mignon

• mignonne

• brun

• brune

Answer explanation

The bear is clearly not brown-haired, so brun and brune are wrong; you need the masculine singular, so mignon, not mignonne.

Elle est....

• bruné

• brun

• blonde

• brune

Answer explanation

The woman is NOT blonde. The feminine singular of brun is brune with the -e.

Il est très...

• grande

• grand

• blond

• crayon

Answer explanation

Since the man is masculine, grand (without the -e) is needed.

Il N'est PAS...

• petit

• grand

• petite

• grande

Answer explanation

Mini-Me is a famous dwarf in the movie Austin Powers. Watch the n'est... pas: he is NOT big - hence masculine form grand.

I (fem.) am red-haired.

• Je suis roux

• Je suis rousses

• Tu es rousse

• Je suis rousse

Answer explanation

I is singular. Since the prompt specifies that I am feminine, the fem. sing. form rousse is needed.

Elle est comment?

• Elle est vieille.

• Elle est vieux.

• Elle est grosse.

• Elle est jeune.

Answer explanation

She is clearly not young, and not obviously fat. The feminine singular form of old is vieille.

Comment est-il?

• Il est grand.

• Il est âgé.

• Il est roux.

• Il n'a pas de cheveux.

Answer explanation

In this example, two answers fit: the man is tall and doesn't have hair.

• Il est beau,

• Il est belle.

• Il est beaux.

• Il est bel.

Answer explanation

The masculine singular form (beau) is needed here (beaux is masculine PLURAL) and therefore wrong.

• Elle est belle.

• Elle est beau.

• Elle est bel.

• Elle est belles.
