Lesson Details

Key learning points

The definite article in Spanish is 'el' and los' with masculine nouns and 'la' and 'las' with feminine nouns.
When using 'es', we need to use the singular form of the adjective.
When using 'son', we need to use the plural form of the adjective.

Common misconception

In Spanish, adjectives always end in -o.

In Spanish, adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender and number. If the noun is feminine, the adjective will end in -a, but if it is masculine, it will end in -o. If the adjective already ends in -e, it will stay the same.

Keywords
