Adjectives

We need them to describe people, things or sircumstances, so they are really important for our comunication skills.

No wonder the order could change but we normally use them after the noun, and they change (masculine, feminine, singular or plural) because of the noun.

Some examples:

La casa roja – the red house

El bote rojo – the red bote

Las niñas pequeñas – the little girls

Los niños pequeños- the little boys

 

You can use as many as you want, separate them with a comma and before the last one use the word “y” (and).

Una habitación grande y desordenada – A big messy room

Un hombre bajo, feo y triste – A short, ugly, sad man
