💡 Grammar Points
One Form for Both Genders
This adjective ends in '-e', which is a great shortcut! It describes both masculine nouns (el muro invisible) and feminine nouns (la pared invisible) without changing its form.
Making it Plural
To describe more than one thing, simply add '-s': 'los enemigos invisibles' (the invisible enemies).
❌ Common Pitfalls
Adding Gender Endings
Mistake: "La mesa invisibla."
Correction: La mesa invisible. Remember, adjectives ending in '-e' usually don't change to match a feminine noun.
⭐ Usage Tips
Use with Ser
Use 'ser' (to be) to describe the permanent quality of something (El gas es invisible). Use 'estar' only if something is temporarily hidden or masked.
