• In Spanish, all adjectives must agree with the
  noun they describe in both gender and number.
  Every adjective has both a singular and plural
  form and a masculine and feminine form. To make
  a word plural if the word end in a vowel, add
  s. If it ends in a consonant, add es. A
  descriptive adjective usually follows the noun it
  describes.
