In short
Check both requirements in the supplied note: an accepted dark top and closed footwear. A black jumper with open sandals fails the shoe rule; a white shirt with closed shoes fails the top-colour rule. The exercise’s note explicitly defines which colours count as dark.
Yellow the idea to rememberBlue French to learn
The event organiser gives two clothing requirements. Each card names a top and footwear, including whether the footwear is open or closed. Sort the complete outfit by checking its top colour first and its footwear second.
Exemple pédagogique

Les couleurs claires ne conviennent pas pour le haut.
Les sandales ouvertes ne conviennent pas.
Tap a word, then the box it belongs in.
Passing one requirement is not enough
The white shirt outfit has the right footwear but the wrong top colour for this notice. The black jumper with sandals has the right top colour but the wrong footwear. The accepted outfit needs both conditions at once. You do not need to guess how dark a pictured shade looks because the colour names are printed.
| Question | If yes | If no |
|---|---|---|
| Is the top one of the listed dark colours? | Check the footwear next. | The outfit does not meet the note. |
| Is the footwear explicitly closed? | Both conditions are met if the top also passed. | The outfit does not meet the note. |
Foncé and clair matter to the decision
Gris foncé means dark grey, while gris clair means light grey. The note accepts the first and excludes the second for the top. Bleu marine is the named navy shade. In these colour descriptions, the multiword colour phrase stays unchanged: une chemise bleu marine, des chemises bleu marine.
Je choisis un pull noir et des chaussures fermées.
I choose a black jumper and closed shoes.
For a real event, read the organiser’s actual note. If the wording names only dark clothing without defining the shade, you may need a clarification. In this exercise, the explicit list removes that uncertainty and lets you practise combining two conditions accurately.
