1 Gender and Adjective Agreement
Nouns and pronouns in Spanish are divided into gender. Masculine for men and boys. EX: amigo, Juan, él Feminine for women and girls. EX: amiga, Lisa, ella

2 Adjectives Adjectives describe nouns. They have different forms that match with the noun in gender and number. The masculine form of most adjectives ends with “o”. EX: Richie es romántico. The feminine form of most adjectives ends with “a”. EX: Betty es bonita.

3 Adjectives that end with “e” are gender neutral
Adjectives that end with “e” are gender neutral. EX: José es inteligente. Jenna es inteligente. Adjectives that end in consonants are gender neutral unless referring to a feminine noun and they end with “-or” or are adjectives of nationality. EX: Tina es trabajadora. María es española.

4 Adjectives agree with nouns in number.
Adjectives describing one person or thing are singular. Adjectives describing more than one person or thing are plural. If the singular form ends in a vowel, add “s” to make it plural. EX: Pat es alto.  Pat y Steve son altos.

5 If an adjective ends in a consonant, add “es” to make it plural
If an adjective ends in a consonant, add “es” to make it plural. EX: Ricky es intelectual.  Ricky y Dana son intelectuales. We always use the masculine plural form to describe a group of masculine and feminine nouns. EX: Ana y Tom son románticos.
