1 Adjective endings and noun / adjective agreement By: Paul Widergren
2
2 Adjective always agree with nouns and articles in Spanish in gender and number.
3
3 If a noun is masculine, the adjective which modifies it must be masculine also.
4
4 If a noun is feminine, the adjective which modifies it must be feminine also.
5
5 If a noun is plural and ends with an -s, the adjective must end in an -s as well.

8
8 Many adjectives and many nouns end in the either -a or -o. Some end in either -e or a consonant like -l.
9
9 Nouns have only one gender and always reflect that gender.
10
10 Nouns that end in -a are generally feminine and nouns that end in -o generally masculine.
11
11 feminine - la blusa, la falda, la camisa masculine - el vestido, el sombrero, el zapato.
12
12 Nouns that end in -e or a consonant can be either gender and must be learned individually.
13
13 feminine - la estudiante, la televisión masculine - el lápiz, el calcetín, el parque, el restaurante.
14
14 Adjectives that end in either -a or -o change their ending according to the gender of the noun they modify.

16
16 m.sg. el señor guapo f.sg. la señora guapa m.pl. los señores guapos f.pl. las señoras guapas
17
17 Adjectives that end in either -e or a consonant do not change their ending according to gender.
