2. The rules... • Adjectives in Spanish have to agree with the noun. • If the noun is feminine the adjective, if it follows the rules, should end in a for example la falda cara or la chaquetacòmoda. • If a noun is masculine the adjective should end in o for example el jersey feoor un vestido bonito.

3. Plural... • If a noun is plural the adjective must be too. For masculine plural add os and for feminine plural add as. • E.g. Los zapatosincómodos. (masculine) and Las botascómodas. (feminine)

4. The weird ones... • Some adjectives in Spanish do not follow the rules such as guay and elegante. • These adjectives do not change their ending for masculine or feminine. • E.g. - El jersey guay. La camisaguay. • El vestidoelegante. La gorraelegante. • Guay doesn't change for plural either but elegante changes and you add an s. • Unospantaloneselegantes.

5. Colours... • Colours in Spanish are strange... • They’re all masculine even though they end differently – e.g. rojo+ rosa are both masculine as is azul.

6. We can think of colours as four different groups.

7. Superlatives... • A superlative is used when you are describing something as the most or the least__. • How superlatives work: • el/la + noun + es/son + más+ adjective = the most • el/la + noun + es/son + menos+ adjective = the least • e.g. la falda es másbonita • If the noun is plural instead of using es we use son meaning are– lasfaldasson másbonitas and unoszapatossonmenoscòmodos.

8. Comparatives... • Comparatives are when we say more... than and less... than. • How to make comparisons: • más + adjective + que = more...than • menos+ adjective + que = less...than • The adjective must agree with the subject of the sentence. • e.g. mi camisa es másbarata que sucamisaand mis vaqueros son menoscòmodos que mi sudadera.
