Colours are adjectives, which means they describe nouns (people, places, things). In English, the colour word usually comes before the noun, like <span data-no-translation>a red apple<\/span>. You can also use the verb <span data-no-translation>to be<\/span> to say what colour something is: <span data-no-translation>The apple is red.<\/span> Knowing colours helps you talk about clothes, food, and many everyday objects. This lesson will teach you the most common colours and how to use them in simple sentences. Let&#8217;s start seeing the world in English!<\/div>\n<h2>What are the most common colours in English?<\/h2>\n<p>There are many colours in the world!
