SPANISH ADJECTIVES

Definition: The adjective in Spanish agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies. Usually adjectives come in masculine and feminine flavors and reflect the gender of the noun they describe. Normally masculine adjectives end in an -o and feminine adjectives end in an -a.

Examples in Spanish:

an ugly monkey = un mono feo
a beautiful cloud = una nube bonita

If a noun is plural then the adjective is also plural, an s is added to the end.

Examples in Spanish:

the handsome boy = el niņo bonito
the handsome boys = los niņos bonitos

the honest girl = la niņa honesta
the honest girls = las niņas honestas
