Hi this is Tutor Nick P And this is Lesson 312.

動名詞

The title of today's lesson is it is often redundant ...Remember redundant means repeating.

to 不定詞

It is often redundant to repeat the word color with a color.

So for example, you wouldn't say that is a red color shirt.

Or the shirt is red or something like that.

But we would not usually repeat the word color with a color.

We don't do that often .It is kind of awkward.

Even though a Westerner would probably understand any students of ESL.  Remember ESL English as

They would probably understand any foreigner that said it.

Okay . Let's take a look at the note here.

It is most common and natural to just say the color by itself.

We may sometimes use the adjective colored. Okay.

But the use is not common .It is mostly used when the color is odd.

You know it is kind of strange not the most common color or difficult to describe.

So let's take a look at a couple of examples here.

Like is someone asked the question What color is the shirt ? And someone answered it is

I mean color would actually be like a noun here.

It is al little better because then pink=colored becomes an adjective.

But it is still a little weird . It is just more natural to say it is pink or it is a

pink shirt, especially since pink is a pretty common , like blue, green, yellow.

So we are less likely to use the word colored with it.

Let's see a few other ways that are acceptable.

But we would probably not use it this way.

This is the way some students make a mistake.

So they probably wouldn't say it is a pink color shirt or a pink colored shirt.

. Let's look at some examples where maybe colored is more likely to be used with color.

The maroon is kind of like a brownish purple color basically.

So that is more likely to be used with colored..

And especially when were saying that you know, it is hard to say exactly like the shade

So we are more likely to use it in that sort of sense.

It is difficult to describe, it is kind of like a dark maroon.

So that is the way somebody would use it, especially when they are expressing that they

That is the closest they they can guess of what the color might be.

Or here . we might say what color are those pants ? And again someone might answer this

And again Lavender , That is not one of the more common colors.

So you would probably not be more likely to use it with a blue or green or yellow which
