How to Describe People and Things in Spanish

Can you fill in the blank with the correct Spanish form of the adjective in parenthesis?

1. Unas muchachas son _________. (redheaded)

2. Los amigos son _________. (intelligent)

3. Las profesoras son _________. (funny)

4. El profesor es _________. (short)

5. Las clases son _________. (big)

1. Unas muchachas son pelirrojas.

2. Los amigos son inteligentes.

3. Las profesoras son graciosas.

4. El profesor es pequeño.

5. Las clases son extensas.

Explanation: In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe. When describing feminine plural nouns like "muchachas" and "profesoras", the adjectives need to be in their feminine form. Similarly, when describing masculine plural nouns like "amigos" and singular nouns like "profesor" and "clases", the adjectives need to be in their masculine form and agree in number.

So, the correct forms of the adjectives are:

1. Unas muchachas son pelirrojas (redheaded).

2. Los amigos son inteligentes (intelligent).

3. Las profesoras son graciosas (funny).

4. El profesor es pequeño (short).

5. Las clases son extensas (big).

I hope this explanation helps you understand how to describe people and things in Spanish correctly. Keep practicing and have fun learning the language!
