Description words (in general)

Question 1

Thing to remember about adjectives in spanish

Answer 1

The order of adjectives is something that many beginners struggle to get their heads around, but just remember that unlike in English, Spanish adjectives usually go after the noun. So instead of saying “he has beautiful blue eyes,” you say the equivalent of “he has eyes blue beautiful”—“tiene unos ojos azules preciosos.”

Question 2

Another thing to remember

Answer 2

Also, don’t forget that each adjective can either be masculine, feminine, singular and plural. So, the word lindo can actually be lindo (masculine single), linda (feminine single), lindos (masculine plural) or lindas (feminine plural) so that it agrees with the noun it’s modifying.

Question 35

Important!

Answer 35

SER is an irregular verb so it will be used as “ES” for a single object like CUARTO (room) and “SON” when referring to several objects like CUARTOS. Some sentences using SER with adjectives are: “La casa es pequeña” (the house is small) and “La sala es cómoda” (the living room is comfortable). Another way to describe the house in Spanish is with the verb LUCIR (to look). LUCIR will be conjugated as LUCE for a single object and LUCEN for several as in the sentence “La casa luce pequeña” (the house looks small).

Question 36

important

Answer 36

It is important to mention that in a regular house description in Spanish, we will also find the verbs HAY and TENER to talk about the things in a room and the verb ESTAR plus prepositions of place to indicate the location of rooms and parts of the house.
