Pluralization

The 3 rules for making words plural in Spanish are:

1. If the word ends in a __________, add _____.

2. If the word ends in a __________, add _____.

3. If the word ends in a _____, change it to a _____, then add _____.

If the noun becomes plural, the article must also. Demonstrate how this works using the

following examples:

Plural form of both article and noun

1. una actriz ___________________________________

2. la pluma

___________________________________

3. el tablón

___________________________________

4. un perro

___________________________________

Remember that not only do we make sure Spanish articles agree with their nouns, but so

must Spanish adjectives!

To make adjectives agree we must keep in mind the following things:

1. Adjectives that end _____ can change to _____ if needed for gender. (This can also be

reversed.)

2. Adjectives that end in anything else we say are ____________________________________.

3. As nouns, adjectives can also be plural if need be and would follow the same rules as stated

above.

Don’t forget that adjectives in Spanish follow what they describe!

Agreement

Putting all our knowledge of article, noun, adjective agreement together, identify the mistake in

each sentence by circling it. Provide the correction in the space provided.

1. La aeropuerto es importante.

____________________

2. La señorita es romántico.

____________________

4. Los papeles son interestante.
