8. Determining which adjectives to use with who…
Nouns in Spanish are divided into genders. Nouns are either masculine or feminine.
Adjectives describe nouns; therefore they have different forms to match, or agree with, the noun or pronoun in gender.
Ej. Juan es atletico. Maria es atletica.

9. Trends in determining adjective gender.
If a noun, or pronoun, is masculine the adjective will typically end in an “o”
If a noun, or pronoun, is feminine the adjective will typically end in an “a”

10. Exceptions to the rule
Certain adjectives that don’t end already end in “o” or “a” (like inteligente) are “neutral” and can be used with masculine and feminine nouns.
