Descriptive Adjectives Notes

Listen up, Me, you dumb possibly ADHD bitch. I know you’re on tumblr when you should be paying attention in Spanish but instead you’re here, well jokes on you/me, here’s Spanish brought to your tumblr! For all your cheating in class needs.

If anyone happens to see this I’m just paraphrasing the video lessons from my Spanish class.

So, descriptive pronouns:

Describe people places and things

Ser: nationality, size, color, shape, personality, appearances

Descriptive adjectives usually come after the noun, adjectives of quantity usually come before

Grande, bueno and malo are special bc they can come either before or after. When coming before a masculine noun they are shortened and drop the o. When grande is in front of a singular noun it drops the e and means great.

Change form with gender or singularity/pluritalty

e: four forms

Singular masculine: o

Singular feminine: a

Plural masculine: os

Plural feminine: as

e: two forms

Singular masculine/feminine: e

Plural masculine/feminine: es

l: two forms

Singular masculine/feminine: l

Plural masculine/feminine: les

For adjectives that end in a consonants, the adjective is made plural with -es.
