| 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.
