             1
Los adjetivos:
               Adjectives: Words that
                modify nouns

               En español, most
                adjectives have either
                two or four forms

               When using adjectives in
                Spanish, one must
                always consider
                PLACEMENT and
                AGREEMENT.
                                           2
ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT:
An adjective may have up to four
forms. The form used in a
sentence must agree with the noun
that it modifies.

simpátco (m/s)      simpática (f/s)
simpáticos (m/p)   simpáticas (f/p)

                                      3
ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT:
If an adjective ends in DOR or DORA
then it will usually have four forms
and the form that you use in any
given sentence must agree with the
noun that it modifies.
trabajador (m/s)      trabajadora (f/s)
trabajadores (m/p) trabajadoras(f/p)

                                          4
ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT:

If an adjective ends with “only
two forms – singular and
plural.

inteligente (s)   inteligentes (p)


                                     5
