💡 Grammar Points
Matching Endings
Since this word is describing a thing, it has to match the 'gender' of that thing. Use 'adjunto' for masculine words like 'archivo' and 'adjunta' for feminine words like 'foto'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
The 'O' Trap
Mistake: "La imagen adjunto."
Correction: La imagen adjunta. Because 'imagen' is feminine, you must change the 'o' to an 'a'.

💡 Grammar Points
Using it as a Thing

B2She is an associate professor at the university.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can 'adjunto' also be a verb?
Yes! While it's usually an adjective, 'adjunto' is also the 'I' form of the verb 'adjuntar' (to attach) in the present tense. For example: 'Yo adjunto el archivo' means 'I attach the file'.
Is it better to use 'adjunto' or 'anexo'?
In emails, 'adjunto' is much more common. 'Anexo' is usually reserved for physical documents, legal papers, or reports where you are adding a whole extra section or appendix.
