In Spanish, adjectives have to match the nouns they describe.

This means they need to agree on two things:

1. Gender – which is like saying whether it is masculine or feminine.

2. Number – which means whether it is singular (one) or plural (more than one).

Let’s check out some common classroom items and the adjectives we can use with them:

Classroom Objects:

1. Libro (book)

   • Adjectives:
     • interesante (interesting)
     • grande (big)
     • pequeño (small)
   • Example: El libro es interesante. (The book is interesting.)

2. Lápiz (pencil)

   • Adjectives:
     • amarillo (yellow)
     • nuevo (new)
     • roto (broken)
