1 GENDER & ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT OBJECTIVE: YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE SER WITH ADJECTIVES WHILE USING CORRECT ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT

2 GENDER AND ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT Nouns and pronouns are divided into genders.  Nouns for men and boys: masculine  chico, amigo, él, Juan  Nouns for women and girls: feminine  chica, amiga, ella, María

3 GENDER AND ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT The different forms of adjectives match with the noun:  Masculine form: most end in -o  Raúl es serio.  Ellos son serios.  Feminine form: most end in -a  Mari es seria.  Ellas son serias. Just add the letter “s” to the end when there is more than one person.

4 GENDER AND ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT Adjectives ending in an “e” go with both genders.  El chico es inteligente.  La chica es inteligente. Just add the letter “s” to the end when there is more than one person.

5 GENDER AND ADJECTIVE AGREEMENT Adjectives ending in consonants do not add an -a, unless they end in -or  Lorenzo es joven y trabajador.  Gloria es joven y trabajadora.  Ellos son jóvenes y trabajadores.  Ellas son jóvenes y trabajadoras. Just add the letter “s” to words ending in a vowel. Add “es”/”as” to words ending in a consonant.
