  2. Objetivo: Voy a comprender acordancia de adjetivos y escribir oraciones con adjetivos. I will understand adjective agreement and I will write sentences using adjectives.

  3. Los adjetivos: • Adjectives: Words that modify (describe) nouns • En español, most adjectives have either two or four forms • When using adjectives in Spanish, one must always consider gender & number AGREEMENT.

  4. ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT: If an adjective ends in O, you need to change the ending to... • OS when describing a masculine / plural noun. • A when describinga a feminine / singular noun • AS when describing a feminine / plural noun. • Leave the O when describing a masc. / sing. noun Thus, adjectives that end in o usually have four forms and the form that you use in any given sentence must agree with the noun that it modifies. simpático (m/s) simpática (f/s) simpáticos (m/p) simpáticas (f/p)

  5. ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT: If an adjective ends in DOR then it also usually has four forms and the form that you use in any given sentence must agree with the noun that it modifies. Use... • DOR for masc. / singular (not change) • DORA for fem. / singular (add A) • DORES for masc. / plural (add ES) • DORAS for fem. / plural (add AS) trabajador (m/s) trabajadora (f/s) trabajadores (m/p) trabajadoras(f/p)

  6. ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT: If an adjective ends in something other than these (O , OR) then it will usually have only two forms – singular and plural. It is not gender specific. To make the adjective plural add... s if it ends in a vowel es if it ends in a consanent inteligente (s) inteligentes (p) joven (s) jóvenes (p)

  7. PLACEMENT OF ADJECTIVES • Descriptive adjectives • placed after the noun • Nouns used as adjectives • the descriptive noun is placed after the noun you are describing and separated by the word “de” • (i.e. hombre de tacos = Taco man) • (i.e. Spanish class = la clase de español)

  8. Exceptions to the rule…: • The adjectives good (bueno) and bad (malo) are descriptive adjectives but can be placed in front of the nouns they modify. • Thus, you can use bueno and malobefore or after a noun. • When in front of a masc. / singular noun you drop the final o • i.e. un buenalumno
