1. Capítulo 3b notes #1 The plurals of adjectives

2. Review We have already learned that adjectives must agree with the gender (masculine or feminine) of the noun Ex: Júan es gracioso (here, gracioso ends in o because Júan is male) Ex: Elena es seria (here, seria ends in a because Elena is female)

3. The plurals of adjectives Just as adjectives agree with a noun depending on whether it’s masculine or feminine, they also agree according to whether the noun is singular or plural. To make an adjective plural just add an “s” after the vowel. If the adjective ends in a consonant add an “es”

4. Remember When an adjective describes a group including both masculine and feminine nouns, use the masculine plural form Ex: la lechuga, las zanahorias y los tomates son buenos para la salud

5. Mucho The singular form of “mucho” means “much” or “a lot of”, but the plural form, “muchos”, means “many”. Ex: No como mucha carne, pero como muchas verduras ( I don’t eat much meat, but I eat many vegetables)
