2.7 Adjectives
are used in their gender and form always according to
the noun used
rojo = red
alegre = happy, glad
gordo = stout, big
la flor = flower
negro = black
following
examples show the way the accordance of adjective
and noun work
la flor roja = the red flower
las flores rojas = the red flowers
el hombre gordo = the big man
los hombres gordos = the big men
la muchacha alegre = the happy girl
las muchachas alegres = the happy girls
el perro negro = the black dog
los
perros negros = the black dogs
You can see the difference between the English and Spanish
very clear in those examples. English does not change
the gender (there is none actually) neither of the definite article
nor of the adjective, nor does the number of the adjective
change. Therefore, for the English the part of article and adjective
stays unchanged.
Now Spanish brings the challenge to remember that articles
(definite and indefinite) as well as adjectives need to
be changed according to the gender and the number of the
nouns.
