### Adjective/Noun Agreement

In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun that they describe, and they should "agree" with the noun they are describing. If a noun is masculine (el), the adjective will be masculine (-o). If the noun is feminine (la), the adjective will also be feminine (-a). If the noun is plural (los/las), the adjective should also be plural (-s). Note: Adjectives ending in letters other than -o/-a (such as those ending in -e) are neutral and do not change based on gender.

Fill in the table with the correct forms of the adjectives in parentheses that complete the sentences.

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}

\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Let's fill in the table by aligning the adjectives correctly with their respective nouns according to the rules of gender and number agreement in Spanish.

1. La bicicleta es . . (cómodo)
- "Bicicleta" is a feminine, singular noun. Therefore, the adjective "cómodo" must be changed to "cómoda" to agree with it.
- Answer: cómoda

2. La motocicleta es . . . (rápido)
- "Motocicleta" is a feminine, singular noun. Hence, we need to change the adjective "rápido" to "rápida" to match it.
- Answer: rápida

3. Las computadoras son ___ (lénto)
- "Computadoras" is a feminine, plural noun. Thus, the adjective "lénto" should be changed to "lentas" (feminine plural).
- Answer: lentas

4. Los carros son __ (pequeño)
- "Carros" is a masculine, plural noun. Therefore, the adjective "pequeño" must be changed to "pequeños" to agree with it.
- Answer: pequeños

5. Las casas son ___ . (grande)
- "Casas" is a feminine, plural noun. The adjective "grande" (which is neutral) needs to be adjusted to plural form "grandes" to match the number.
- Answer: grandes

Let's fill in the table with the correct forms of the adjectives:
