SPANISH NOUNS
Nouns is a word used
to name a person, place, or thing. In Spanish every noun
has a gender, either masculine or feminine. Most of the nouns
ending in -a are feminine and nouns ending in -o
are masculine.
SPANISH ADJECTIVES
Adjectives are words that describe a noun.
In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe. Ex:
El estudiante paciente
the patient student
ADJECTIVES MUST
AGREE IN GENDER (MASCULINE OR FEMININE) WITH THE NOUN IT DESCRIBES OR MODIFIES.
In Spanish, most adjectives
have masculine and feminine forms.
Masculine adjectives often end in -o.
Ex:
Alto tall
Aburrido
boring
Masculine adjectives are used to describe masculine nouns. Ex:
El
chico alto the tall boy
El cuento
aburrido the boring tale
Feminine adjectives are used to describe
feminine nouns. Ex:
La chica alta the tall
girl
La historia aburrida the boring story
Many adjectives that end with -e match both genders. Ex:
La chica inteligente
the smar girl
El chico inteligente
the smart boy
Many adjectives that end with a consonant match both genders. Ex:
La historia fenomenal the
phenomenal story
El cuento fenomenal
