Note:  In French, nouns and adjectives have a gender.  Ex:
vert/e = vert is the masculine form of green, verte
is the feminine form.  Almost all adjectives agree in gender and number
with the noun they modify (except marron and orange, as well as colors that
are modified with the words clair-light and foncé-dark)
and most are placed after the noun.  Un carré brun would
be a brown square and une boîte noire would be a black
box.
