What is your favorite color? in French 🇫🇷

Sentence info.

Sa couleur préférée est le rouge.

Explanation:
– “sa” is a possessive adjective meaning “her.”
– “couleur” means “color.”
– “préférée” is the feminine form of the past participle “préféré,” which means “preferred” or “favorite.”
– “est” is the third person singular conjugation of the verb “être,” which means “to be.”
– “le rouge” means “the red.”

Tips to remember:
– “Sa couleur préférée” is a common phrase to express “her favorite color.”
– The word order in French is different from English. In this sentence, the possessive adjective “sa” comes before the noun “couleur,” and the adjective “préférée” comes after the noun. The verb “est” is then used to link the subject and the complement.
– The French language has different forms for adjectives depending on the gender and number of the noun they modify.
