Key learning points
- Spanish adjectives change depending on whether the noun is masculine o feminine.
- Masculine adjectives change from -o to -a when the noun being described is feminine.
- Spanish adjectives change depending on whether the noun is singular (one) or plural (more than one).
- Spanish uses 'es' to describe someone or something and 'son' to describe two or more people or things.
Keywords
Son - part of the verb 'to be, being' that means 'they are'
Adjective - a word that gives information about a noun
Adjective number agreeent - when the ending of an adjective matches the number of the noun it describes
Common misconception
Adjectives do not have plurals forms, like English.
In Spanish, adjectives match the nouns they describe. If the noun is singular, the adjective will be singular as well, and the same for plural nouns.
The teacher might want to ask students to describe teachers from their own school.
