Adjectives and Gender• Adjectives describe nouns. Like articles, they

match the gender of the nouns they describe. Also, adjectives come after the noun in Spanish.

• The white coat- el abrigo blanco• The pretty girl- la chica bonita

• Adjectives will end in –a if it describes a feminine word

• And end in –o if it describes a masculine word• Nouns that don’t end in –o or –a are usually

considered masculine.

Adjective Gender Agreements Rules

• When you describe clothing on a person you change the articles and adjectives according to the gender of the item not the person or subject.

• You only change the gender of the colors and adjectives to match the nouns being described.

• Él lleva una camisa amarilla.• Él lleva una chaqueta blanca.• Ella lleva un vestido bonito.• Ella lleva una falda morada.

Adjective Placement

In English we place the adjective before the noun.

• The white cat.

• The white blouse.

In Spanish we place the adjective after the noun.

• El gato blanco.

• La blusa blanca.

Same with personality features

• La personalidad- personality is feminine

• Él tiene una personalidad simpatica.

• Why is simpatica in the feminine form, when we are describing a male???

• El es un chico simpatico.

Don’t confuse verbs with these gender rules

Verbs never change gender.

• Verbs are not governed by gender rules.

• Example

• Yo llevo – I wear

• Él/ella lleva-He or she wears

• Verbs do not follow gender rules, they follow conjugation rules and change endings according to subject or pronoun.
