Is this sentence correct in terms of subject and gender agreement?
L'image est en noire et blanche.
I'll send this to one of our French tutors.
Without "en" it is correct but with "en" it is noir et blanc.

To determine if the sentence is correct in terms of subject and gender agreement, we need to analyze the agreement between the subject and the adjectives "noire" and "blanche".
In this sentence, the subject is "l'image" (the image). The adjective agreement in French depends on the gender and number of the noun it modifies.
Since "image" is feminine, we need to use the feminine form of the adjectives. The feminine form of "noir" (black) is "noire" and the feminine form of "blanc" (white) is "blanche".
So, the correct sentence would be: "L'image est en noire et blanche."
Now that we have determined the correct answer, you can apply this rule to other sentences by identifying the gender and number of the subject and then selecting the corresponding form of the adjective(s) accordingly.
