Adjectives give color and detail to your sentences. Let's learn the most common ones.
Placement: Unlike English, descriptive adjectives in Spanish usually come after the noun (e.g., un coche rápido - a fast car).
Agreement: Adjectives must match the gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural) of the noun they describe. For example: el perro negro vs. las perras negras.
