Number and Gender • Adjectives are words which describe nouns or pronouns. • In Spanish, all adjectives must agree in number and gender with the nouns they describe. • Gender : nouns are either masculine or feminine • Number: nouns are either singular or plural.
So what is a “masculine” noun anyway? • Masculine nouns usually end with the letters L-O-N-E-R-S. • Feminine nouns usually end in the letters D-ion-Z-A. • To make nouns or adjectives plural add “s” to words ending with vowels, add “es” to words ending with consonants. Ex. El chico ---- Los chicos el papel ---- Los papeles
Examples of maculine and feminine nouns : Masculine Feminine L – el papel D – la ciudad O – el amigo ión– la televisión N – el jardín Z – la actriz E – el cine A – la amiga R – el borrador S – el sacapuntos
How to use adjectives • Unlike English, in Spanish, adjectives usually follow the nouns they describe. Ex. Un chicotrabajador Unoschicostrabajadores Unachicatrabajadora Unaschicastrabajadoras The noun first, the adjective second
Nouns have gender and number in Spanish and so the adjective must reflect the same gender and number as its noun. Elchico simpático or Lachica simpática
Regular adjectives--those that end in o--change to the feminine by dropping the -o and adding -a; they then change to the plural by adding -s to either form: Feminine: Masculine: alto alt a Singular: s s alto alta Plural:
Loschicos simpáticos or Laschicas simpáticas
Most irregular adjectives--those that end in a letter other than o--only change the ending to indicate plurals. If the adjective ends in a consonant, the plural form adds -es. Masculine: Feminine: fácil fácil Singular es fácil es fácil Plural
Exceptions: • When a noun or adjective ends in “Z” the z is changed to a “c” before making it plural • The following are common exceptions to gender rules: • El agua • La mano • El problema (and other words ending with “ma”) • La flor • La sal
