Most adjectives that end with –e match both genders. El chico paciente La chica paciente Many adjectives that end with a consonant match both genders. El chico fenomenal la chica fenomenal

10 Using Adjectives to Describe: Number
Adjectives must also match the number of the nouns they describe. To make an adjective plural, add –s if it ends with a vowel, add –es if it ends with a consonant.

11 For Example Los chicos: Las chicas: Guapos, divertidos, y fenomenales
Guapas, divertidas y fenomenales

12 Using Adjectives to Describe: Number
When an adjective describes a group with both gender, the masculine form of the adjective is used. El chico y la chica son guapos.

13 Using Adjectives to Describe: Number
Sometimes an adjective may preced a noun. When the words bueno or malo precede a masculine singular noun, they are shortened to buen and mal. When grande precedes any singular noun, it becomes gran and its meaning changes to great.
