A Quiz On Spanish Gender Adjective Agreement - Quiz

2. María es ________(moreno/morena/morenos/morenas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "morena" because it agrees with the gender of the subject, María, who is a female. In Spanish, adjectives must match the gender and number of the noun they modify. Since María is feminine, the correct form of the adjective "moreno" (meaning dark-skinned) is "morena."

Submit
3. Ella es ________(malo/mala/malos/malas)

Explanation

The correct answer is "mala" because it agrees with the gender of "Ella," which is feminine. In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "Ella" is a singular feminine noun, the adjective "mala" (meaning bad) also needs to be in the singular feminine form.

Submit
4. El perro es _________(bueno/buena/buenos/buenas)

Explanation

In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "perro" is a singular masculine noun, the adjective that describes it must also be singular and masculine. "Bueno" is the correct form of the adjective in this case.

Submit
5. If the noun is singular the adjective must also be:

Explanation

When referring to a noun in the singular form, the corresponding adjective should also be in the singular form. This is because adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in terms of number. Using a singular adjective with a singular noun ensures grammatical consistency and concordance.

Submit
6. El gato es _______(grande/grandes)

Explanation

The correct answer is "grande" because it agrees in gender and number with the noun "gato" which is singular and masculine. In Spanish, adjectives must match the noun they modify in gender and number. Since "gato" is singular and masculine, the adjective "grande" also needs to be singular and masculine.

Submit
7. Mi maestra es ________(bueno/buena).

Explanation

The correct answer is "buena" because "maestra" is a feminine noun, so the corresponding adjective should also be in the feminine form. "Buena" is the feminine form of the adjective "bueno" and agrees in gender with "maestra".

Submit
8. Mi amiga es _________(bonito/bonita/bonitos/bonitas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "bonita" because "amiga" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so the adjective that describes it must also be feminine. "Bonita" is the feminine form of the adjective "bonito," which means "pretty" or "beautiful" in English.

Submit
9. La doctora es ________(bueno/buena/buenos/buenas).

Explanation

The word "doctora" is a feminine noun in Spanish, so the correct form of the adjective "good" to agree with it is "buena". The adjective needs to match the gender and number of the noun it is describing, and in this case, since "doctora" is singular and feminine, the adjective should also be singular and feminine. Therefore, the correct answer is "buena".

Submit
10. Juan es _______(alto/alta/altos/altas).

Explanation

Juan es alto. In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "Juan" is a masculine singular noun, the adjective "alto" also needs to be in the masculine singular form. Therefore, the correct form is "alto".

Submit
11. If the noun is feminine, the adjective must also be:

Explanation

In Spanish grammar, adjectives must agree in gender with the nouns they modify. This means that if the noun is feminine, the adjective must also be feminine. This agreement is necessary for grammatical correctness and to maintain consistency in the language. Therefore, the correct answer is "feminine."

Submit
12. Ana es _______(bueno/a).

Explanation

The correct answer is "buena" because the word "Ana" is a feminine name, and in Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they modify. Since "Ana" is feminine, the adjective "bueno/a" must also be in the feminine form, which is "buena."

Submit
13. Los perros son ________(gordo/gordos/gorda/gordas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "gordos" because "perros" is a plural noun in Spanish, and "gordos" is the plural form of the adjective "gordo" which means "fat". Therefore, to match the plural noun, we use the plural form of the adjective.

Submit
14. La muchacha es __________(bajo/baja/bajas/bajos)

Explanation

The correct answer is "baja" because it agrees in gender and number with "muchacha" which is a feminine singular noun. In Spanish, adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in gender and number. Since "baja" is the feminine singular form of the adjective "bajo," it is the correct choice to describe the feminine singular noun "muchacha."



"La" means "the" and is the feminine singular article, which matches with "muchacha," a feminine noun meaning "girl." "Es" means "is," and it is the third-person singular form of the verb "ser," which is used to indicate identity or characteristics. "Baja" is the feminine singular form of the adjective "bajo," which means "short" when referring to a person or thing in terms of height. Since "muchacha" is feminine, you use the feminine form of the adjective, which is "baja." So, the complete sentence "La muchacha es baja" means "The girl is short" in English.

Submit
15. La chica es _________(guapo/guapa/guapos/guapas).

Explanation

The given sentence is in Spanish and it is asking for the correct form of the adjective "guapo/guapa/guapos/guapas" to describe "La chica" which means "The girl". The correct form to describe a singular feminine noun like "La chica" is "guapa". Therefore, the correct answer is "guapa".

Submit
16. Los chicos son ________(serio/seria/serios/serias).

Explanation

The correct answer is "serios" because "chicos" is a masculine plural noun, so the adjective that describes it must also be masculine and plural. In Spanish, adjectives agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Therefore, "serios" is the correct form of the adjective to match the masculine plural noun "chicos."

Submit
17. Susie es ___________(trabajador/trabajadora/trabajadores/trabajadoras)

Explanation

The given correct answer "trabajadora" is the feminine form of the adjective "trabajador" in Spanish. Since the subject "Susie" is a female, the correct form of the adjective to describe her would be "trabajadora".

Submit
18. Peter y Samantha son ___________(alto/alta/altos/altas).

Explanation

The correct answer is "altos" because "Peter y Samantha" is a plural subject, and in Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "altos" is the plural form of the adjective "alto," it matches the plural subject "Peter y Samantha."

Submit
19. If the noun is masculine the adjective must also be:

Explanation

In Spanish, if the noun is masculine, the adjective that describes it must also be in its masculine form to match in gender. Similarly, if the noun is feminine, the adjective must be in its feminine form to agree in gender. This is a fundamental rule of Spanish grammar for ensuring grammatical agreement between nouns and adjectives.

Submit
20. Carlos y yo somos _________(inteligente/inteligentes).

Explanation

Carlos y yo somos inteligentes.
In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Since "Carlos y yo" refers to a plural subject, the adjective "inteligentes" is the correct form to match the plural noun. Therefore, the correct answer is "inteligentes".

Submit
21. Pedro y Carmen son _________(perezoso/perezosos/perezosa/perezosas).

Explanation

Pedro y Carmen are both referred to in the question, indicating that there are multiple individuals being described. Since "perezoso" is the singular form of the adjective meaning lazy, it would not be appropriate to use it to describe both Pedro and Carmen. Instead, the plural form "perezosos" should be used to correctly describe both of them as lazy.

Submit
22. Ella es _______(cómico/a).

Explanation

The correct answer is "cómica" because the sentence is referring to a female subject (Ella) and the adjective "cómica" agrees with the feminine gender.
