Sustantivos y adjetivos

Now that you have a basic understanding of noun gender in Spanish, let's start exploring how los adjetivos (adjectives) interact with nouns. Our first task is to gather some basic vocabulary, and then we will focus on where to place an adjective in Spanish.

Remember - adjectives are words that are used to describe nouns, which means they are grammatically linked with nouns. An example of this: because nouns have gender in Spanish, adjectives also have gender. The gender of the adjective must agree (match) with the gender of the noun.
