Lesson Details
Key learning points
- The present indicative forms of ‘ser’ are ‘soy’, ‘eres’, ‘es’, ‘somos’, ‘sois’ and ‘son’.
- Adjectives of nationality must agree with the nouns they describe.
- Masculine adjectives ending in -o change to -a, -os- or -as depending on the gender and number of the noun.
- Masculine adjectives ending in -és change to -esa, -eses or -esas depending on the gender and number of the noun.
Common misconception
In Spanish, all masculine adjectives end in -o.
Many masculine adjectives end in -o, but this is not always the case. For example, many masculine adjectives of nationality end in -és e.g. 'inglés' and 'francés'.
