"Tu aimes le violet? Oui, c'est tres joli."

David S.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

"Tu aimes le violet? Oui, c'est tres joli."

"Tu aimes le violet? Oui, c'est tres joli." I said "Oui, il est..." and was marked wrong. Why is that? The object referred to is specific - "le violet". This is not a general statement.
This question relates to:French lesson ""C'est" vs "Il/Elle est" to say it is/she is/he is in French"

Hi David,

You cannot say about a colour -

‘ Le violet, il est joli ‘

It has to be -

C’est joli

You could say however,

‘Ce pull violet est très joli ‘

or,

Ce violet est très joli’

Hope this helps!
