Adjetivos descriptivos

Learning Objectives Identify a descriptive adjective in a sentence. Define what a descriptive adjective does. Match an adjective's ending to a masculine or feminine noun. Match an adjective's ending to a singular or plural noun. Correctly use at least five different descriptive adjectives to describe food items. Create a simple sentence using a noun and a matching descriptive adjective. Imagine your favorite food! 🍕 Is it big or small? Is it hot or cold? The words you just used to describe it are adjectives! In this lesson, we will learn about special words called 'adjetivos descriptivos' (descriptive adjectives).
