Key Concepts & Vocabulary

Grammar Rules & Patterns
The Masculine Match Rule (-O)
Sustantivo masculino (-o) + Adjetivo masculino (-o)
If your noun is masculine (often ending in -o), the adjective that describes it must also end in -o. This is a perfect match!
The Feminine Match Rule (-A)
Sustantivo femenino (-a) + Adjetivo femenino (-a)
If your noun is feminine (often ending in -a), you must change the adjective's ending to -a to make a match.
The 'Es' Sentence Formula
[Sustantivo] + es + [Adjetivo]
To make a simple sentence describing something, you say the noun, then 'es' (which means 'is'), then the matching adjective.
