Adjective gender
In Spanish, adjectives can be feminine or masculine, depending on the noun they describe.
To form the feminine, we generally use the ending -a.
Ella es alta.
She is tall.
La comida está rica.
The meal is delicious.
To form the masculine, we generally use the ending -o.
Él está contento.
He is pleased.
El gato es negro.
The cat is black.
Adjectives ending in -e, and most of those ending in a consonant, do not change to match the gender of the noun they describe.
Ella es amable. / Él es amable.
She is kind. / He is kind.
Ana es inteligente. / Teo es inteligente.
Ana is intelligent. / Teo is intelligent.
Una tarea difícil. / Un trabajo difícil.
A difficult task. / A difficult job.
Ella está feliz. / Él está feliz.
She is happy. / He is happy.
