ADJECTIVES.2. Adjectives must agree in number and gender with the noun. El perro blanco, (the white dog) los perros blancos (the white dogs) La paloma blanca (the white dove) las palomas blancas (the white doves). A) To form the plural of adjectives, follow this rule: If the adjective ends in a vowel, add s to the singular. If the adjective ends in a consonant, (d,l,n,r) add es to the singular. Examples: El apartamento moderno, (the modern apartment), los apartamentos modernos (the modern apartments). El vestido azul, (the blue dress), los vestidos azules (the blue dresses). However, adjectives ending in í or ú add es. Israelí, israelíes, hindú,hindúes. B) To form the feminine of adjectives, follow these rules: When the adjective ends in o change the ending to a. Un vino bueno (a good wine) but... una comida buena (a good meal). Adjectives ending in e or in consonants n,l,r,z do not change. Examples: El pollo caliente ( the hot chicken) la sopa caliente (the hot soup). El coche azul (the blue car) la falda azul (the blue skirt). C) If we want to describe two nouns, one masculine and one feminine, the adjective will take the masculine form. Example: Los niños y las niñas ingleses.
