HOW TO DESCRIBE PEOPLE USING
ADJECTIVES

When we put the Subject Pronoun and the verb
together, we have the beginning of a sentence.
Today we are learning to describe people:
 He
is tall
 he is short
 They are intelligent
 We are students
 Ana is pretty, etc., etc., etc.

GRAMMAR RULES:

In english some nouns have gender – mainly
living beings.
 The
woman = female
 The table = no gender
 The thought = no gender

In spanish all nouns have gender
 La
mujer = female
 La mesa = female
 El pensamiento = male
GRAMMAR RULES:

To determine which Spanish nouns are
feminine and which ones are masculine one
must look at ending of the word.
 Generally
nouns that end in the letter “a” are
considered feminine
 …and nouns that end in the letter “o” are
masculine
In English and in Spanish one cannot predict
the gender of a noun, except in the case of
living creatures.
Do not try to analyze the nature of the object,
looking for some inherent masculinity or
femininity. It won't work!
Look at spelling.
TAKE A GUESS
What gender would you think these items would
be in Spanish?
- The dress
El vestido
- The tie
La corbata
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENGLISH AND SPANISH:
When writing a sentence in Spanish, articles
and adjectives must match the gender and
number of the noun.
 Examples:

 The
friend of Emily is very tall.
 La amiga de Emily es muy alta.
 The
friend of Emily is very tall.
 El amigo de Emily es muy alto.
