Adjective agreements

In Spanish adjectives change their endings according to the gender and quantity of the words they are describing.

1. If an adjective ends in o (the singular masculine form) you have to add an s to make it plural.

un perro negro - a black dog
unos perros negros - some black dogs

perro - masculine
perros - masculine plural

If the word you are describing is feminine (with una or la) you have to change the o to an a

la corbata blanca - the white tie

Or add as if it is feminine plural (with unas or las)

las corbatas blancas - the white ties

corbata - feminine
corbatas - feminine plural


2. If the adjective ends in an e (interesante, inteligente) then it stays the same for both masculine and feminine.

Mi hermano es inteligente. - My brother is intelligent.
Mi hermana es inteligente. - My sister is intelligent.

However if it is plural you have to add an s.
Mis hermanos son inteligentes.


Use this table to help you:

                            Masculine               Feminine           Masculine plural       Feminine plural  

  Pronoun:               el/un                 la/una                       los/unos                        las/unas

  Ending:                      o                            a                               os                                   as

El Condicional

ía
ías
ía
íamos
íais
ían

Wordle

Wordle is a website that lets you make pictures like the one below.

If you type in your speaking or writing exam answer it will show you where you have repeated words. 

For example: the picture below is made up of words from my blog, words like 'present' and 'tense' are larger than others because I have repeated them.

So if a word is larger, you may have to change it to something else so that you have more variety of vocabulary in your answer.

For example:

In Spanish 'fui' (I went) could be changed to visité (I visited).

In French 'parce que' (because) could be changed to 'car' (another way of saying because).

ER Verbs in the Present Tense

In French, an 'ER' verb is just a verb (a doing word) that ends in 'er'.
E.G. parler (to speak), jouer (to play), arriver (to arrive).

To form the present tense (for 'ER' verbs):
1. Take your pronoun:
I - Je
You (singular) - Tu
He/she - Il/elle
We - Nous
You (plural) - Vous
They - Ils/elles

2. Take your verb, for example - 'parler' and take off the ending 'er' so you are left with the stem - parl


3. Add the following endings depending on which pronoun you have used:
Je - e
Tu - es
Il/elle - e
Nous - ons
Vous - ez
Ils/elles - ent

SO, for example, 'I speak' would be 'Je parle'.
