In English, adjectives typically come before the nouns they describe whereas in Spanish adjectives come after the noun (e.g. short hair: <em>pelo corto<\/em>\/hair short).<\/p>\n<p>Corto\/a: Short<br \/>\nLargo\/a: Long<br \/>\nPeque\u00f1o\/a: Small<br \/>\nGrande: Big<\/p>\n<p>In Spanish, some adjectives change, depending upon whether the word they describe is masculine or feminine and all change depending upon whether the word they describe is singular or plural.<\/p>\n<p>With adjectives that end in <em>\u2013O<\/em> you change their ending to <em>\u2013A<\/em> if you are describing a female thing. When describing singular things with adjectives that don\u2019t finish in <em>\u2013O<\/em> you don\u2019t change the ending of the adjective.<\/p>\n<p>You add <em>\u2013OS<\/em>\u00a0if you are describing more than one masculine thing and <em>\u2013AS<\/em> if you are describing more than one female thing. When describing more than one thing you add <em>\u2013ES<\/em> to the adjective if it ends in a consonant and <em>\u2013S<\/em> if it ends in a vowel.<\/p>\n<h4>Let&#8217;s practice with these new adjectives, Tener and the Parts of the Body in Spanish:<\/h4>\n<p>Ella tiene el pelo largo: She has long hair<br \/>\nNosotros tenemos el pelo corto: We have short hair<\/p>\n<p>Yo tengo las orejas grandes: I have big ears<br \/>\nVosotras ten\u00e9is las orejas peque\u00f1as: You have small ears<\/p>\n<p>Ellos tienen los pies grandes: They have big feet<br \/>\nT\u00fa tienes los pies peque\u00f1os: You have small feet<\/p>\n<p>Yo no tengo las pesta\u00f1as largas: I don&#8217;t have long eyelashes<br \/>\nElla tiene las pesta\u00f1as cortas: She has short eyelashes<\/p>\n<p>T\u00fa no tienes los dientes grandes: You don&#8217;t have big teeth<br \/>\n\u00c9l tienes los dientes grandes: He has big teeth<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for this lesson about the <strong>Parts of the Body in Spanish<\/strong>.
