Concordancia de adjetivos You learned in previous lessons that nouns and articles in Spanish must agree in both gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). This same agreement must occur in Spanish when adjectives are used to describe nouns. If the noun is masculine and singular, the adjective that describes the noun will also be masculine and singular: If the noun is masculine and plural, the adjective that describes the noun will also be masculine and singular: el chico generoso (the generous boy) los chicos generosos (the generous boys) If the noun is feminine and singular, the adjective that describes the noun will also be feminine and singular: If the noun is feminine and plural, the adjective that describes the noun will also be feminine and plural: la chica generosa (the generous girl) las chicas generosas (the generous girls)
Concordancia de adjetivos (cont.) If an adjective ends in -o for the masculine form, it generally will also have a feminine form (generoso / generosa as shown in the examples). If a masculine singular adjective ends in a consonant or a vowel other than -o (most commonly -e), such as importante, it does not change for gender, but it will change for number. The plurals of adjectives are formed in the same way that you learned in previous lessons for nouns. Add an -s if the word ends in a vowel; add an -es if the word ends in a consonant. el documento importante la clase importante los documentos importantes las clases importantes

Posicin de los adjetivos Adjectives are usually placed after the noun they are describing or after the verb ser. Mi mam cocina comida rica. (My mom cooks delicious food.) Los m dicos son inteligentes. (The doctors are intelligent.) Indefinite adjectives, such as mucho (a lot, many), alguno (some), ninguna (any), cada (every) and numbers, both cardinal and ordinal, precede the noun.
