Adjectives are one of three major categories of words.
(nouns, adjectives, verbs)

Adjectives describe people, places or things.

In Spanish, adjectives also reflect grammatical number and gender of the noun being described.

Gender means that certain adjectives will be MASCULINE or FEMININE.

People will reflect gender self-identification guidelines.

Objects will have a single, permanent gender that doesn’t change.

Number means that certain adjectives will be SINGULAR or PLURAL.

One object is most often singular.

Multiple objects are most often plural.

In Spanish, adjectives are most often placed after the noun.

Una casa grande.
A big house.

Un lápiz amarillo.
A yellow pencil.
