# Many adjectives agree with the gender of the noun # If the dictionary lists an adjective with an -o ending (rojo, bajo, alto, corto, rubio, moreno, etc.) it probably fits the catergory # adjectives can go in front of or after the noun; usually they go after
* la casa blanca * the white house * el perro rojo * the red dog
# If the noun is plural, the adjective will agree with it
* las cervezas morenas o A native speaker once asked someone on the web "Do you like your beer blonde (rubio) or brunette (moreno) referring to light or dark." I thought it was funny. Anyhow. o The guy was making a joke. Dark beer is translated 'las cervezas negras' * los perros rojos
# For an adjective that is not a/o, like grande (large/huge), the noun agrees with the singular/plural status of the noun
* la casa grande * las casas grandes
