Well, here’s the way it is...adjectives have to agree with whatever they tell about!
![Page 6: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The noun is masculine, then the adjective is masculine
![Page 7: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The noun is feminine, then the adjective is feminine
![Page 8: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The noun is singular, then the adjective is singular.
![Page 9: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The noun is plural, then the adjective is plural.
![Page 10: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Are you telling me that this is like an equation in math?
![Page 13: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Let’s check out how to talk about a boy, then a girl.
• el muchacho alto
• la muchacha alta
![Page 16: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What about more than one boy and more than
one girl?• los muchachos altos
• las muchachas altas
![Page 17: Just the facts!](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022050819/56812a5d550346895d8dc912/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Many common adjectives end in -o. These adjectives have four forms. The
following words all mean “red:”
• rojo
• roja
• rojos
• rojas

The correct form of the adjective depends upon the noun it modifies. Is the noun
masculine or feminine? Singular or plural? • el teléfono rojo
• la casa roja
• los teléfonos rojos
• las casas rojas
