Adjective Form, Position, and Agreement (La forma, posición, y concordancia de los adjetivos) Essentially, an adjective is a word that describes or tells us more about a noun than we knew before. Spanish adjectives normally agree, or have corresponding forms, with the nouns they modify.

Adjectives Es un chico bajo. Es una chica baja. Son unos chicos bajos. Basically, there are two types of adjectives. Type 1: Four-form adjectives. These adjectives agree in number and gender. Adjectives that end in o in their base form normally are four-form adjectives. Es un chico bajo. 1 Es una chica baja. 2 Son unos chicos bajos. 3 Son unas chicas bajas. 4

Summary Adjectives whose base form ends in o have four forms. These adjectives agree in gender and number. Adjectives whose base form ends in e, in a consonant (l, z, n, etc.) or in ista have two forms. These adjectives agree in number only.

Exceptions Type 1: Adjectives of nationality There are two types of exceptions to the two-form / four-form rules. Type 1: Adjectives of nationality Type 2: Adjectives that end in ón, án, ín, or (d)or

Exceptions There are two types of irregular adjectives. Type 1: Adjectives of nationality Many adjectives of nationality are already the four-form type, since their base form ends in o. Vladimir Putin es ruso. 1 Su esposa es rusa. 2 Sus hijos son rusos. 3 Sus hijas son rusas. 4 Notice that adjectives of nationality are not capitalized in Spanish.

Exceptions There are two types of irregular adjectives. 1 2 3 4 Type 1: Adjectives of nationality But even if an adjective of nationality ends in a consonant, it normally has four forms rather than two.

Jacques Chirac es francés. 1 Su esposa es francesa. 2 Sus hijos son franceses. 3 Sus hijas son francesas. 4 Notice that if the masculine singular of an adjective bears a written accent, it is omitted on all other forms.

Summary Adjectives whose base form ends in o have four forms. These agree in gender and number. Adjectives whose base form ends in e, in a consonant (l, z, n, etc.) or in ista have only two forms. These agree in number only. There are two groups of exceptions, which are four-form adjectives even though they end in a consonant: Adjectives of nationality Adjectives that end in ón, án, ín or (d)or* * Exception: the comparative mayor

Descriptive adjectives, that is, those that express more than simple possession, location, or number, are generally placed after the noun. Literally, “It’s a class good.” Literally, “Yes, and he’s a professor very intelligent.”
