Using Colours in Sentences
When you describe something, put the colour word before the noun. For example, say 'a red car' not 'a car red'. You can also use the verb 'to be' to say what colour something is, like 'The car is red'.
- Colour word goes BEFORE the noun (e.g., a blue sky).
- Use 'to be' to state a colour (e.g., The sky is blue).
- Ask 'What colour is it?' or 'What colour are they?'
Shades of Colours
You can describe different shades of colours. 'Light' means a paler version, like light blue. 'Dark' means a deeper version, like dark green. This helps you be more specific when talking about colours.
- Light: paler version of a colour (e.g., light blue).
- Dark: deeper version of a colour (e.g., dark green).
