Adjective and noun agreement

Adjectives are the words we use to describe the nouns. They can tell you any characteristic of the noun they go with. This could be about its:

• shape
• colour
• size, etc.

In Spanish, adjectives are variable words, that is, they are going to take on different forms depending on the noun they go with, as they always have to agree with it. If the noun is singular, then the adjective will be singular too and if the noun is plural then the adjective will also be plural.

In Spanish, the nouns possess gender and many adjectives have gender as well.

Ex.

la casa bonita - the beautiful house
las casas bonitas - the beautiful houses
