Spanish Adjectives – A few important notes:

Master our list of Spanish adjectives to take your Spanish skills to the next level – do you know all 50 of these in Spanish? Unlike in English, where adjectives are placed before the noun they are describing, in Spanish, they can be either ahead or behind the noun it is describing, most commonly following the noun. Additionally, Spanish speakers must keep in mind the concept of masculine and feminine forms of words (eg. bueno and buena, alto and alta). Adjectives can also be modified by adverbs and the spelling must also match the singular or plural nature of the noun.
