Adjectives In English and Spanish adjectives are used to describe a noun. In Spanish, adjectives need to agree in both gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular and plural) What does this mean? In Spanish all nouns have a gender. The adjective needs to match that genter. For example: Roberto is a boy. If he is tall we use the word alto to describe him. However, if Ana is tall, we change alto to alta because she is a girl. This also works for plural people. If I’m talking about a group of boys then also because altos. A group of girls becomes altas. If the group is both boys and girls it always stays in the masculine: altos. You have a list of adjectives in your packets. Please make sure you have memorized your adjectives.
Subject pronouns In both English and Spanish we use subject pronouns to tell who or what the sentence is about. In Spanish, we can drop the subject pronoun. I – yo We- nosotros You-tú You all in Spain- vosotros He- él The boys- ellos She- ella The girls- ellas You formal- Usted You all in LA- Ustedes
Notes about Subject pronouns Usted is to address someone ( just one person) in a polite way. I only use it to talk to one person. Ustedes is NOT a polite way to talk to a group of people. Ustedes is used to address a group of people in every country except Spain. If I’m talking about a mixed group of boys and girls- I always refer to masculine. This works in the Nosotros, Vosotros, and Ellos forms of subject pronouns.
Conjugations of SER- to be Conjugating means that I change the form of Ser to match my subject pronouns. I am – yo soy we are- nosotros somos You are- tú eres you all are (spain) vosotros sois He is- él es the boys are- ellos son She is- ella es the girls are- ellas son You formal are- Usted es You all are (LA) Ustedes son
