What this grammar point covers
In Spanish, adjectives change their form to match the gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural) of the noun they describe.
When to use it
Use this when you want to describe a noun with an adjective. The adjective must agree in gender and number with the noun.
Key forms
- masculine singular: alto
- feminine singular: alta
- masculine plural: altos
- feminine plural: altas
Examples
Las casas grandes son bonitas.
English: The big houses are beautiful.
La niña simpática canta.
English: The nice girl sings.
Los perros pequeños corren.
English: The small dogs run.
Tips
- Adjectives usually come after the noun in Spanish.
- Remember to change the ending of the adjective to match both gender and number.
- Not all adjectives end in -o/-a; some have the same form for both genders.
Exceptions and edge cases
- Some adjectives like 'inteligente' or 'azul' do not change for gender, only for number.
- Adjectives ending in -e or a consonant usually have the same form for masculine and feminine.
