The plurals of adjectives notes.

• Adjectives, just like definite articles, must match the noun they accompany.
Singular adjectives go with singular nouns, and plural adjectives go with plural
nouns.
• Adjectives that end in -o or -a must also match the noun. Masculine (-o) adjectives
go with masculine nouns and feminine (-a) adjectives go with feminine nouns.
• Adjectives that end in -e do not change to match masculine or feminine nouns.
They still change to match singular and plural nouns: el libro interesante, las
clases interesantes.
