6. Agreement of adjectives 1 In Spanish, all adjectives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the noun or nouns that they are describing. Do you remember which of the animals are masculine (un) and which are feminine (una)? gato perro tortuga hámster conejo puerco espín conejillo de Indias pájaro serpiente pez caballo loro ratón Feminine (una) Masculine (un) gato perro hámster conejo puerco espín conejillo de Indias pájaro pez caballo loro ratón tortuga serpiente

7. Agreement of adjectives 2 Agreement of adjectives 2 Now that you know which animals are masculine and which are feminine, you need to know how to describe them. Adjectives are describing words. In English they never change, but in Spanish they change depending on the gender of the noun they are describing. Look at the following pictures and text. un conejo blanco una gata negra

8. Agreement of adjectives 3 They also change depending on the quantity of the noun they are describing. Look at the following pictures and text. dos conejos blancos Which word is the adjective? What do you think it means? Can you see how it changes depending on the gender and number? dos gatas negras

9. Agreement of adjectives 4 I’m sure you guessed that the adjective was blanco / blanca and blancos / blancas. It means white and the feminine version ends in -a. The plural version ends in -s. But did you notice that in Spanish we put the adjective after the noun, whereas in English it goes before the noun? Two green tortoises / Dos tortugas verdes. A white snake / Una serpiente blanca. In Spanish, the masculine word for yellow is amarillo. How would you say a yellow tortoise? And how would you say three red parrots? Una tortuga amarilla. Tres loros rojos.

10. Agreement of adjectives 5 Not all adjectives change. Some of them are the same in masculine and in feminine. Look at the following table.

22. Adverbs of quantity: muy, bastante 1 Muyand bastante are adverbs. Adverbs are words that qualify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. Mi hermana es muy alta. Mi padre es bastante delgado. Can you guess the meaning of ‘muy’ and ‘bastante’? Muy – very bastante – quite My sister is very tall. My father is quite slim.

23. Adverbs of quantity: muy, bastante 2 Can you match up the Spanish with the English in the sentences below? • La historia es muy • Las mates son bastante • El español es muy • Spanish is very • History is very • Maths is quite That was quite easy, but can you pick out the words for: very quite muy bastante These are intensifiers. They are really useful when you are giving your opinion of something, as they allow you to be more precise and they make your writing and speaking more natural.
