Describing others.

Now that you have watched the video about describing appearance (last lesson) and completed the tutorial this week and last week, I want you to have a go at describing the people in the images above using a simple sentence.

( click here to watch video again )

You write...... (record this in your 'French' folder)

  • Elle a les yeux ........... et les cheveux ................ . (Korra)

  • Il a les yeux ........... et les cheveux ................ . (Albert)

Can you describe yourself?

To describe yourself you use 'j'ai'(I have) and 'je suis' (I am).

Note: It is common to use 'marron' to describe brown eyes and 'brun' to describe brow

You write...... (record this in your 'French' folder)


  • " J'ai les yeux .............. et les cheveux ................ ."

(If I was describing myself I would write: 'J'ai les yeux marron et les cheveux brun et gris' )


  • Je suis petite/grande/taille moyenne. (use one of these forms if you identify as female)

  • Je suis petit/grand/taille moyenne. (use one of these forms if you identify as male)

(If I was describing myself I would write: 'Je suis petite')
