Adjectives: Used to describe people or things. Adjectives are either masculine or feminine. Generally those adjectives ending in O are masculine and those adjectives ending in A are feminine. Of course there are exceptions to that rule. When you have more than one adjective in a row, they get comas as we do in English. Eg. El es comico, rubio, elegante y modesto. The word y is spelled e when the next word begins with i or hi. Eg. Ella es baja, bonita e inteligente. Tag questions Questions are frequently formed by adding verdad? or no? after an affirmative statement and verdad? after a negative statement. Eg. Es muy inteligente, no? No es comico, verdad? No Used to negate. To make a sentence negative, place no in front of the verb. Ella no es alta. Mi profesora no es exigente. Ni/ni Used to negate. Neither/nor is ni/ni in espanol. El no es ni alto ni bajo. (he is neither tall nor short)
