 DESCRIPTIVE
ADJECTIVES

ADJECTIVES ARE WORDS THAT DESCRIBE PEOPLE,

PLACES, AND THINGS. IN SPANISH, DESCRIPTIVE
ADJECTIVES ARE USED WITH THE VERB SER TO
POINT OUT TUTORIAL CHARACTERISTICS SUCH
AS NATIONALITY, SIZE, COLOR, SHAPE,
PERSONALITY, AND APPEARANCE.
 FORMS AND AGREEMENT OF ADJECTIVES
IN ENGLISH, the forms of descriptive adjectives do not change to reflect the gender
(masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) of the noun or pronoun they describe.

Juan is nice. Elena is nice. They are nice.

IN SPANISH, the forms of descriptive adjectives agree in gender and/or number with the
nouns or pronouns they describe.

Juan es simpático. Elena es simpática. Ellos son simpáticos.

• Adjectives that end in -o have four different forms. The feminine singular is
formed by changing the -o to -a. The plural is formed by adding -s to the singular
forms.
 ALTO
EL HOMBRE ES _________(TALL)

BAJA
LA MUJER ES ____________(SHORT)

EL CHICO ES
LA CHICA ES MALO
DELGADA _______(BAD)
_________(THIN)
• Adjectives that end in -e or a consonant have the same
masculine and feminine forms.
 ES UN AUTO
GRANDE (Big)
________

LA CASA ES
GRANDE
_________(Big)

KARLA ES
JOVEN ELLOS SON
____________

____________

• Adjectives that end in -or are variable in both gender and
number.
  Use the masculine plural form to refer to groups that include males and females.

Adjectives of nationality
 Unlike in English, Spanish adjectives of nationality are not capitalized. Proper names
of countries, however, are capitalized.
 Adjectivesof nationality are formed like other descriptive adjectives.
Those that end in -o change to -a when forming the feminine.

The plural is formed by adding an -s to the masculine or feminine form.

 Adjectives of nationality that end in -e have only two forms, singular
and plural.
 To
form the feminine of adjectives of nationality that end in a
consonant, add -a.
PÁGINA 91
POSITION OF ADJECTIVES
 Descriptive adjectives and adjectives of nationality generally follow the nouns they
modify.
 Bueno/a and malo/a can appear before or after a noun. When placed
before a masculine singular noun, the forms are shortened: bueno 
buen; malo  mal.
 When grande appears before a singular noun, it is shortened to gran,
and the meaning of the word changes: gran = great and grande = big,
large.

• Because su and sus have multiple meanings (your, his, her, their, its), you can
avoid confusion by using this construction instead: [article] + [noun] + de +
[subject pronoun].

Verbos con terminación
ER - IR
In Spanish, there are three classes
– verb families (or conjugations)
of verbs: those that end in –AR,
those that end in –ER, and those
that end in –IR. This is important
because the conjugation determines
the endings you put on the verbs.
 EVERY VERB HAS 2 PARTS
THE STEM + ENDING
• The stem of a verb is the part of the verb you get when you take the –
ar, -er or –ir off of the infinitive

• Ex: Infinitive: Stem:

Hablar Habl
Comer Com
Escribir Escrib
 -ER & -IR Verbs
As we saw in the previous presentation, there are three
conjugations of verbs in Spanish: –AR, –ER, and –IR.
-ER and –IR verbs are often studied together BECAUSE all of
their endings (except one) are identical.
-ER endings – present tense conjugation

The endings for regular -ER verbs are the

same as for –AR verbs, except that the
vowel is –E- instead of –A-!
yo -o -o
tú -es -as
él, ella, Ud. -e -a
nosotros -emos -amos
ellos -en -an
ustedes –en -an
What about the –IR Verbs?

Well, take a look for yourself.

Can you find the one
difference?
beber vivir
bebo vivo
bebes vives
bebe vive
bebemos vivimos
beben viven
Regular Present Tense
To summarize, here are
the endings for the three
verb conjugations:
-AR -ER -IR
-o -o -o
-as -es -es
-a -e -e
-amos –emos –imos
-an -en -en
