The Gender of Nouns We already know that nouns in Spanish have gender. In order to determine the gender of a noun we must first look at it's ending. MASC. L O S E R FEM. A ION AD

Gender of Adjectives Adjectives are words that describe nouns. Adjectives themselves do not have gender however most have a masculine or feminine form. Adjectives in Spanish must agree or match the noun they are describing, this is called gender agreement.

-O,-A Adjectives You will notice from your vocabulary that there are several adjectives that end in o. These all have ",-a" after them. This means that you can change the ending to match the gender of the noun it is describing. Examples: artistico,-a estudioso,-a atrevido,-a desordenado,-a

Examples: inteligente, paciente, impaciente -e adjectives Adjectives that end in -e are neutral and do not require you to change the ending. "e" can go with both masculine or feminine nouns. Examples: inteligente, paciente, impaciente

The one irregular Adjective. deportista Deportista does not change it's ending ever. It always ends with an -a.

or,ora adjectives There are some adjectives like trabajador where you only have to add an -a to the end to make it femenine. Example: trabajador, trabajadora

Noun then Adjective In English we generally put the adjective before the noun it is describing. In Spanish it is the opposite, we put the adjective after the noun we are describing.

Examples: La chica artistica -The artistic girl El chico artistico -The artistic boy La amiga buena - The good friend(fem) El amigo bueno - The good friend(masc)
