Agreement of Adjectives

    AQA
    GCSE

    Adjectival agreement in Spanish dictates that all modifying adjectives must undergo morphological concord with the noun they qualify in both gender (masculine/feminine) and number (singular/plural). Mastery requires the accurate application of inflectional rules for regular endings (-o/-a), invariable adjectives (-e, -ista), and nationality descriptors, alongside the syntactic placement (pre- or post-nominal) which frequently alters semantic nuance. Candidates must demonstrate precision in modifying nouns across complex noun phrases and predicative structures involving 'ser' and 'estar', ensuring consistency with collective nouns and mixed-gender plural antecedents.
