    Adjectives - Adjetivos

    This document discusses adjectives in Spanish. It explains that adjectives describe nouns by indicating qualities like type, quantity, or identity. In Spanish, descriptive adjectives usually follow the noun while limiting adjectives come before. Adjectives must agree with nouns in number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or feminine). Agreement depends on the ending of the adjective, with some having four forms to account for number and gender. The plural of adjectives is formed similarly to nouns, by adding -s or -es depending on the final letter.

    Adjectives - Adjetivos

    Adjectives describe nouns. They tell which noun (that book), what-kind-of noun (big book) and how
    many of a noun (one book, many books).

    Position of Adjectives: In Spanish, descriptive adjectives (the what-kind-of type) usually follow the
    noun while the limiting adjectives (the which and how many types) come before the noun.
    Agreement: In Spanish, adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in number (singular or
    plural) and in gender (masculine or feminine).
    Adjectives ending in o will agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify. These will
    have four forms.
    masculine. sing.

    feminine sing.

    masculine pl.

    feminine pl.

    chico bueno

    chica buena

    chicos buenos

    chicas buenas

    Adjectives ending in a consonant, or in an vowel other than o, have the same form for the
    masculine and feminine. These will agree only in number with the nouns they modify and,
    therefore, will have only two forms.
    
    

    singular
    el curso fcil
    la clase fcil

    plural
    los cursos fciles
    las clases fciles

    
    

    el amigo inteligente
    la amiga inteligente

    los amigos inteligentes


    las amigas inteligentes

    
    

    el profesor popular
    la profesora popular

    los profesores populares


    las profesoras populares

    Adjectives of nationality not ending in o and adjectives ending in n, dr, n and n will
    add a to form the feminine form. These will also agree in number and gender and, therefore,
    have four forms.
    masculine. sing.
    seor espaol
    profesor japons
    chico hablador (talkative)
    oso bailarn (dancing bear)

    feminine sing.

    masculine pl.

    seorita espaola
    muchacha japonesa
    alumna habladora
    chica bailarina

    feminine pl.

    seores espaoles seoritas espaolas


    profesores japoneses muchachas japonesas
    chicos habladores
    alumnas habladoras
    osos bailarines
    chicas bailarinas

    Plurals The plural of the adjective is formed like the plural of nouns:
    Adjectives ending in a vowel
    Adjectives ending in a consonant

    add s
    add es

    (Dont forget: If the final letter of the word is a z, change the z to c and then add the es)
    

    el nio feliz

    los nios felices
