Adjective Form, Position, and Agreement
(La forma, posición, y concordancia de los adjetivos)
Essentially, an adjective is a word that describes or tells us more
about a noun than we knew before.
Spanish adjectives normally agree, or have corresponding forms, with
the nouns they modify.

Position of adjectives
Descriptive adjectives and adjectives of nationality
generally follow the nouns they modify.

Unlike descriptive adjectives, adjectives of
quantity are placed before the modified noun.

Bueno/a and malo/a can be placed before or
after a noun. When placed before a
masculine singular noun, the forms are
shortened: bueno buen; malo mal.

When grande appears before a singular
noun, it is shortened to gran, and the
meaning of the word changes: gran = great
and grande = big, large.
Descriptive adjectives, that is, those that express more than simple possession, location, or number, are
generally placed after the noun.
Literally, “It’s a class
good.”Literally, “Yes, and he’s a
professor very intelligent.”
Translate the following sentences…
I am nice
She is tall
You are funny
We are desorganized
They are naughty
You all are romantic
She is pretty
He is creative
You (formal) are blonde
*It is difficult
I am fat

(Not really “to like”)
GUSTAR = To like
The verb gustar IS NOT REALLY translated the same way. The verb's meaning is really something/somebody is pleasing to...
I like bananas = Me gustan los plátanos.
In Spanish when we say that we like somehting, in reality we are saying that somehting is pleasing us. Therefore the object is doing the action, not the subject.
A little Grammar To use the verb GUSTAR we need two types of pronuns:
Direct Object Pronouns : Me, Te, Le, Nos, Os, Les Subject Pronouns : Yo, Tú, Él/Ella/Ud., Nosotros, Vosotros,
Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes
ME (Me) = Yo (I)
TE (You) = Tú (You)
LE (Him/Her) = Él/Ella/Ud. (He/She/You formal)
NOS (Us) = Nosotros (We)
OS (You) = Vosotros (You “plural” or “y’all”)
LES (Them) = Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes (They/ you all)
Simple answer… ME (Yo)
TE (Tú)
LE (Él/Ella/Ud.)
NOS (Nosotros)
OS (Vosotros)
LES (Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes)
GUSTA (1 thing)
GUSTAN ( 2 or more)
The personal “A”
A Daniela, le gusta pintar
(Daniela likes painting = Painting pleases Daniela)
A Pedro, le gusta cocinar
(Pedro likes cooking = Cooking is pleasing to Pedro
A él, le gusta correr
He likes running = Running pleases him
A Ud., le gusta leer
You (formal) like reading = Reading pleases you (formal)
To add more detail and/or specify who we’re talking about we use the personal “a”
You can use the personal “a” for any form, but it can be redundant…
A mí, me gusta nadar.
A tí, te gusta nadar
A ella, le gusta nadar** A la cucaracha, le gusta comer - the cockroach (it) likes to eat
A Nosotros, nos gusta nadar
A Vosotros, os gusta nadar
A ellos, les gusta nadar** A los perros, les gustan correr – The dogs like to run
**You may insert any name(s) or people/objects (i.e. a subject that would be an “it” in English) where the underline is depending on its
plurality.
