The Spanish Adjective  


Business & Technical

The Adjective in Spanish agrees with the noun it qualifies, in gender and number, as:

  • El periódico italiano: The Italian newspaper.
  • La prensa americana: The American press.
  • It generally follows the nouns as in the above examples, although exceptions will be found, e.g., when the adjective recalls to our mind a quality which is already known to belong to it, it generally precedes the noun, as:

  • He visto sus hermosas flores: I have seen his beautiful flowers.
  • Adjectives form their plural in the same way as nouns.
