El femenino When a feminine noun begins with a stressed "a- " or "ha-" syllable, its singular form will have an "el" instead of "la" (and "un" instead of "una" as an indefinite article). In plural, it's back to normal. el agua, el alma, el asma el habla, el hada, el hambre*
¡Interesante! El agua El alma El asma El habla El hada El hambre
La Pluralidad
Adjectives are frequently descriptive. That is, most often adjectives are used to describe a noun, or distinguish the noun from a group of similar objects. For example, an adjective might describe the color of an object. the red pen the blue pen
La Pluralidad In Spanish, most adjectives change form, depending upon whether the word they modify is masculine or feminine. Notice the difference between "the tall boy" and "the tall girl." el chico alto la chica alta
La Pluralidad Adjectives also change form depending upon whether the word they modify is singular or plural. Notice the difference between "the tall boy" and "the tall boys" ; "the tall girl" and "the tall girls." el chico alto los chicos altos la chica alta las chicas altas
La Pluralidad Many common adjectives end in -o. These adjectives have four forms. The following words all mean "tall": alto alta altos altas
La Pluralidad The correct form of the adjective depends upon the noun it modifies. Is the noun masculine or feminine? Singular or plural? libro rojo red book pluma roja red pen libros rojos red books plumas rojas red pens
La Pluralidad Notice how the endings of the nouns and these adjectives are similar. libro rojo pluma roja libros rojos plumas rojas
La Pluralidad Adjectives that end in -e also change form for singular or plural. To form the plural, simply add -s. la chica inteligente las chicas inteligentes
La Pluralidad Adjectives that end in -e do not, however, change form for masculine or feminine. la chica inteligente el chico inteligente las chicas inteligentes los chicos inteligentes
La Pluralidad Similarly, most adjectives that end in a consonant do change form for singular or plural, but do not change for masculine or feminine. To form the plural, add -es. la chica popular el chico popular las chicas populares los chicos populares
La Pluralidad Adjectives that end in -o have four forms: alto, alta, altos, altas Adjectives that end in -e have two forms: inteligente, inteligentes Most adjectives that end in a consonant have two forms: popular, populares (form plural by adding -es)
La Pluralidad Many adjectives of nationality end in -o. These adjectives follow the same rules as other adjectives ending in -o. That is, they have four forms. el muchacho mexicano la muchacha mexicana los muchachos mexicanos las muchachas mexicanas
La Pluralidad Many other adjectives of nationality end in a consonant. These adjectives do not follow the same rules as other adjectives ending in a consonant, rather, they have a distinct feminine form ending in - a. el muchacho español la muchacha española los muchachos españoles las muchachas españolas
La Pluralidad There is another group of adjectives that does not follow the normal rules. Adjectives ending in -or, -án, -ón, or -ín also have a feminine form. el chico hablador la chica habladora los chicos habladores las chicas habladoras el hombre trabajador la mujer trabajadora los hombres trabajadores las mujeres trabajadoras
La Pluralidad Adjectives that are descriptive usually follow the noun they describe. el chico alto la chica alta los libros pequeños las plumas rojas
La Pluralidad Adjectives of quantity almost always come before the noun. Such adjectives tell how much or how many. pocos libros mucha energía Mucho trabajo pocas casas
La Pluralidad Sometimes, a descriptive adjective can precede the noun. If the adjective is descriptive, but speaks of a quality that is inherent and usually taken for granted, the adjective comes first. la blanca nieve the white snow (snow is inherently white) los altos picos the tall peaks (peaks are inherently tall)
