28. Adjectives in Spanish
Make sure your adjectives (descriptive words like good &
red) agree in gender and number with the thing it
describes:

Ella es simpática. She is nice. (She is a girl thus the
adjective simpática ends in an a.)

Marco es ordenado. Marco is organized. (Marco is a boy
thus the adjective ordenado ends in an o.)
Same goes for plural adjectives:

Ellas son trabajadoras. (There are many hard workinging
girls so we add an s to trabajadoras.)

Ellos son talentosos. (There are many talented boys so
we add an s to talentosos.)
