Spanish Adjectives

In Spanish, adjectives are words that are used to describe or identify a person or thing (tall – alto, famous –famoso, red –rojo, etc.). Some adjectives are used to limit the word they modify, while others are used to indicate the possessor. Finally, a few are used to clarify the non-existence of a noun or to phrase a question. 

Note:

Many of the most common Spanish adjectives end in –o and have the following four forms:

–o, –os, –a, –as

  • Mucho, muchos
  • Bonita, bonitas

Some adjectives end in the vowel –e. These adjectives have only two forms, singular and plural. To form the plural of an adjective ending in –e, add an –s.

  • Grande, grandes
  • Inteligente, inteligentes

Most adjectives that end in a consonant have only two forms, singular and plural. To form the plural add –es.

  • El libro azul – the blue book
  • Los libros azules – the blue books
  • La casa azul – the blue house
  • Las casas azules – the blue houses
