In Spanish, all adjectives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) with the noun or nouns that they are describing. Do you remember which of the animals are masculine (un) and which are feminine (una)?

Now that you know which animals are masculine and which are feminine, you need to know how to describe them.Adjectives are describing words. In English they never change, but in Spanish they change depending on the gender of the noun they are describing.

Look at the following pictures and text.

R They also change depending on the quantity of the noun they are describing.

Look at the following pictures and text.

R I’m sure you guessed that the adjective was blanco / blanca and blancos / blancas. It means white and the feminine version ends in -a. The plural version ends in -s.

But did you notice that in Spanish we put the adjective after the noun, whereas in English it goes before the noun?

Two green tortoises / Dos tortugas verdes.

In Spanish, the masculine word for yellow is amarillo.How would you say a yellow tortoise? And how would you say three red parrots?

Una tortuga amarilla. Tres loros rojos.

A white snake / Una serpiente blanca.
