In Spanish, adjectives need to match the nouns they describe. This means they have to agree on two things: gender and number.

Gender Agreement

• Masculine: If you're talking about a boy, like "chico," you use the word "alto," which means tall.
• Feminine: If you're talking about a girl, like "chica," you change "alto" to "alta."

Number Agreement

• Singular: For one girl, you say, "Una chica alta," which means "A tall girl."
• Plural: For more than one girl, you say "chicas." So, it becomes "unas chicas altas," meaning "Tall girls."

Examples

1. Singular:
   • "La chica alta" means "The tall girl."
2. Plural:
   • "Las chicas altas" means "The tall girls."

Summary

• Change "alto" to "alta" when you're talking about girls.
• If there are more than one, add 's' to the adjective to make it plural.
