School uniform Whether you like it or not, most school pupils in the U. K. have to wear a school uniform. You may need to be able to describe it in your speaking exam. In talking about clothes, we often say what colour they are. Colours are describing words, i. e. adjectives. You need to be able to understand how adjectives work in French. In describing your uniform, you would say things such as " I wear a black skirt, a white blouse... etc." In saying this, you have to add an ending to the adjective, depending on whether the noun is masculine, or feminine and singular or plural. Colours come after the noun in French! For example: je porte une jupe noire I wear a black skirt. je porte une chemise blanche I wear a white shirt. je porte une robe bleue I wear a blue dress Giving opinions You probably have a strong opinion about your school uniform! Giving opinions in your Speaking exam or in your written work will always gain you extra marks, so make sure you can always say how you feel about things. 1.
