💡 Grammar Points

Describing groups

This word ends in '-s' because it is used to describe more than one person or thing. It stays the same whether you are talking about a group of men, a group of women, or a mix of objects.

Placement in a sentence

In Spanish, you usually put this word after the thing you are describing, like 'personas agradables' (nice people).

❌ Common Pitfalls

Using the singular form

Mistake: "Mis amigos son muy agradable."

Correction: Mis amigos son muy agradables. Because 'amigos' is plural (more than one), the adjective must also have an 's' at the end.

⭐ Usage Tips

While 'simpáticos' focuses on someone being friendly, 'agradables' is a bit broader and can describe someone whose company is simply easy and pleasing to be in.
