1. Introduction to Adjectives

In Spanish, adjectives are used to describe nouns. They provide information about qualities, quantities, and characteristics of people, places, and things. Understanding how to use adjectives correctly is essential for constructing meaningful sentences in Spanish.

2. Types of Adjectives

  • Descriptive Adjectives: Describe the characteristics (e.g., "alto" - tall, "bonito" - beautiful).
  • Quantitative Adjectives: Indicate quantity (e.g., "mucho" - much, "poco" - little).
  • Demonstrative Adjectives: Point out specific items (e.g., "este" - this, "esa" - that).
  • Possessive Adjectives: Indicate ownership (e.g., "mi" - my, "tu" - your).
