In Spanish, nouns (which are words for people, places, or things) and adjectives (words that describe nouns) need to match in both gender and number. Let’s explain this in a simple way:

Gender Agreement:

• Masculine nouns usually end with -o.
  • For example, niño means boy.
• Feminine nouns usually end with -a.
  • For example, niña means girl.
• Adjectives must also match the gender. Here are some examples:
  • niño alto means tall boy.
  • niña alta means tall girl.

Number Agreement:

• A singular noun (like libro, which means book) can change to plural.

  • You do this by adding -s or -es.

  • For example:

    • libros bonitos means beautiful books.
    • flores hermosas means beautiful flowers.

Exceptions:

• Some nouns end in -e (like estudiante, which means student) and can be either masculine or feminine.
• The adjective still needs to match the noun. For example:
  • estudiante inteligente means intelligent student.

Keep these rules in mind, and you'll get better at Spanish!
