​Adjectives are words that describe people, places and things. In Spanish descriptive adjectives are used with verb SER to point out characteristics such as nationality, size, color, shape, personality and appearance.

5

​In English, the forms of descriptive adjectives do not change to reflect a gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) of the noun or pronoun they describe, for example:

Juan is nice

Mary is nice

They are nice​

Notice that the description NICE never changes in English.​

6

​In Spanish, the forms of descriptive adjectives agree in gender and or number with the nouns or pronouns they describe, in other words descriptive adjectives must match the gender (male/female) and the number (singular/plural) of what is being described.

Juan es simpático

Elena es simpática

Ellos son simpáticos

María y Elena son simpáticas​

​Adjectives that end in –o turn to -a when it's feminine and the plural is formed by adding the S to the singular form.

​El chico es rápido - La chica es rápida -

Los chicos son rápidos - Las chicas son rápidas

​Adjectives that end in letter E or a Consonant, have the same masculine and feminine forms. This means that both male and female share the same endings, both in singular and plural forms.

media

​The letter E is shared by both male and female, they become plural by just adding S.

When the ending is with a consonant, it remains the same for singular on both genders and it becomes plural by adding ES at the end.​
