DESCRIPTION
Adjectives in Spanish. They have to agree. Adjectives are like mirrors: they reflect the gender and number of the noun they modify. Adjective = Noun in form. Nouns have gender and number in Spanish and so the adjective must reflect the same gender and number as its noun. - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Regular adjectives--those that end in o--change to the feminine by dropping the -o and adding -a; they thenchange to the plural by adding -s to either form:

Masculine: Feminine:
Singular: alta
Plural: alto altas s

Most irregular adjectives--those that end in a letter other than o--only change the ending to indicate plurals. If the adjective ends in a consonant, theplural form adds -es.

Some exceptions to the previous rules are adjectives of nationality and adjectives that end in -or or -z.
Adjectives of nationality that end in consonants add -a to formthe feminine singular, which then forms its plural by adding -s.
