D'abord, ils ont pris des feuilles de papier rouge, orange et jaune,D'abord, ils ont pris des feuilles de papier rouge, orange et jaune,
I'm struggling to see why rouge and jaune are singular.
I know it is correct, for example : des feuilles de papier blanc = white sheets of paper.
Can anyone explain with a simple rule?
I think basically the point is the colours agree with the material, (papier= unaccountable, singular noun in this context), not with the "sheets".
Is there a general rule I can apply , perhaps about en/de + a material ?
I'm guessing it's something like this:
When describing what an object is made of, it is always treated as a singular noun ?
Thanks, Paul.
In the third sentence, we are given the hint to use "on", but then marked wrong when we used it instead of "nous."
HI
I was wondering this sentence we are saving to go to France next year. I put I as nous faisionsdes économies pour aller en France L'année prochaine. But their answer they used ils font why are they using they not we?

In some cases, I chose other words which were not accepted. In particular, 'valide' instead of 'valable', 'choix' instead of 'options', and 'avoir l'intention de' instead of 'prévoir'. In the context, were these incorrect, not the best choice, or just synonymes? Thanks for all of your help. The question and answer section is quite beneficial!

Why isn't there a "ne" with "avant qu'ils soient dévalisés"?

The answer to Martin likes Sarah is marked differently in different tests:
1) Martin aime Sarah
2) Martin aime bien Sarah
Please explain. Jane
Is "râper" really pronounced to rhyme with "cher"? Because that's the pronunciation given when you click on the speaker button in the "Cooking / Faire la cuisine (v)" vocabulary list at https://french.kwiziq.com/learn/theme/1513111
Why is it quarter to seven and not 7:45 PM?
