French clothing vocabulary and demonstrative adjectives: the answers explained
Problem 1 Match the clothes
Learn each word with its article.
(1) c, (2) d, (3) a, (4) b
Problem 2 Choose ce, cet, cette or ces
Pull is masculine (ce), robe feminine (cette), anorak starts with a vowel (cet), baskets is plural (ces).
(1) ce, (2) cette, (3) cet, (4) ces
Problem 3 More demonstratives
Same rules: look at gender, number and first sound.
(1) ce, (2) cette, (3) cet, (4) ces
Problem 4 Choose the color
Match gender and number; rose already ends in -e and stays singular.
(1) noire, (2) vert, (3) blanches, (4) rose
Problem 5 Translate the items
Choose the demonstrative from the noun.
(1) cette veste, (2) ces chaussures, (3) ce manteau
Problem 6 Read the price tags
Read each tag carefully: 35 + 15 = 50.
(1) The blue jeans. (2) Red. (3) 50 €.
Problem 7 Prices in words
Keep the hyphens between tens and units.
(1) quinze euros, (2) trente-cinq euros, (3) soixante-deux euros, (4) quatre-vingt-dix-neuf euros
Problem 8 Make the color agree
Feminine singular adds -e; plural adds -s.
(1) verte, (2) grises, (3) blanc, (4) noires
Problem 9 Add the demonstrative
Watch the gender and the vowel in anorak.
(1) Ce, (2) cette, (3) ces, (4) Cet
Problem 10 Correct the mistake
Veste is feminine; colors agree and come after the noun; imperméable starts with a vowel.
(1) Je voudrais cette veste. (2) Elle achète des baskets blanches. (3) Cet imperméable est bleu. (4) Un pull rouge est ici.
Problem 11 Translate to English
Keep demonstratives and numbers.
(1) How much does this gray coat cost? (2) This green dress costs eighty euros. (3) Do you have these shoes in size 40?
Problem 12 Complete the shop dialogue
Use the infinitive after je voudrais.
essayer, taille, coûte, quarante-cinq
Problem 13 Rewrite in the plural
Gris already ends in -s, so it does not change.
(1) Ces pulls sont rouges. (2) Ces jupes sont noires. (3) Ces anoraks sont verts. (4) Ces bonnets sont gris.
Problem 14 Read the receipt
Check: 18,50 + 12,00 + 14,90 = 45,40.

Five corrections: cette boutique, cette robe, verte, blanches, coûte.
Ce samedi, je vais dans cette boutique avec ma sœur. Je regarde cette robe verte et ces chaussures blanches. Ça coûte cinquante euros.
Problem 18 Read about Maëlle
Details are in the text; 14 + 6 = 20.

Problem 19 Write a shop scene
Model answer: Bonjour ! Ça coûte combien, cette veste noire ? Et ces baskets blanches ? Je fais du 38. Je prends ces baskets.
Check: demonstratives agree, colors follow the noun and agree, and the price question is correct.
Problem 20 Translate a paragraph
Boots are des bottes, so the color is feminine plural.
Au magasin, je regarde ce manteau rouge et ces bottes noires. Le manteau coûte cent vingt euros. Il est trop cher. Je choisis ce pull gris.
