Agreement
of Adjectives In Spanish the adjective
must agree in number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or
femenine) with the nouns or pronouns they modify. a) Adjectives that end in
–o are masculine singular have four forms, ending in –o (masculine
singular), -a (femenine singular), -os (masculine plural), -as (femenine plural)
. b) Adjectives that end in
-e or in a consonant other than –n or –r have only two forms, a
singular and a plural. They are usually the same in the masculine and feminine
singular and change only to agree in number with the noun they describe. Like
nouns, adjectives are made plural by adding –s (those ending in –e, add –s
for th plural), -es (those ending
in a consonant add –es), or by changing z to e and addis –es.
These adjectives don’t
normally reflect gender: un muchado inteligente, una mujer interesante,
unos muchachos inteligentes, unas mujeres interesantes, un
precio especial, una comida especial, unos precios especiales,
unas comidas especiales. Exceptions to the above
rule: c) Some adjectives have a
masculine plural in –es but end in –a in the femeniine singular and
in –as in the femenine plural. 1.-Most adjectives of nationality, region or place have four forms, including those that end in a consonant. Adjectives of nationality that end in a consonant are made feminine by adding –a to the masculine form:
2.- Adjectives ending in: -án, -in, -ón, -or are made plural by adding –es and –as for the femenine plural.
d) Some adjectives end in
–a, -e, -l, -r, -s, -z, regardless of gender, have only one form for both
genders.
e) Comparative adjectives
ending in –or do not change and have only one form for masculine and
femenine:
