Key Concepts & Vocabulary
TermDefinitionExample
AdjetivoA word that describes a person, place, or thing (a noun). It tells us 'what kind' or 'how many'.In 'la manzana roja' (the red apple), 'roja' is the adjective because it describes the apple.
SustantivoA word for a person, place, or thing. Adjectives describe nouns!In 'el gato grande' (the big cat), 'gato' is the noun.
Género (Gender)In Spanish, nouns are either masculine or feminine. Adjectives must change their endings to match the noun's gender.Masculine: el limón amarillo. Feminine: la banana amarilla.

Grammar Rules & Patterns
Rule of Gender Agreement (Concordancia de Género)
Adjective ending must match the noun's gender. Masculine nouns (-o) get masculine adjectives (-o). Feminine nouns (-a) get feminine adjectives (-a).
Use this rule whenever you describe a single noun. Look at the noun's ending to help you choose the right adjective ending. For example, 'el plato' is masculine, so we use 'blanco'.
Rule of Number Agreement (Concordancia de Número)
Adjective ending must match if the noun is singular (one) or plural (more than one). To make most adjectives plural, add -s or -es.
Use this rule to describe more than one thing. If your noun ends in -s (like 'manzanas'), your adjective needs an -s too ('rojas').
