Grammar Rules & Patterns

Adjective Placement Sustantivo + Adjetivo In Spanish, the describing word (adjetivo) almost always comes AFTER the thing it is describing (sustantivo). Think: 'the house big' instead of 'the big house'. Gender Agreement el + sustantivo (-o) + adjetivo (-o) / la + sustantivo (-a) + adjetivo (-a) If a noun is masculine (uses 'el'), its adjective should usually end in -o. If a noun is feminine (uses 'la'), its adjective should usually end in -a. Number Agreement If the noun ends in -s, the adjective must also end in -s. If you are talking about more than one thing (plural), you must add an -s to both the noun and the adjective to make them match.
