💡 Grammar Points

Adjective Agreement (Feminine Plural)

In Spanish, colors are adjectives and must match the noun they describe. 'Rojas' is used only when describing multiple things that are feminine (like 'flores' or 'manzanas').

❌ Common Pitfalls

Forgetting the 'S'

Mistake: "Using 'roja' to describe multiple items (e.g., 'dos flores roja')."

Correction: Always add the '-s' when describing more than one item: 'dos flores rojas'.

Gender Mismatch

Mistake: "Using 'rojas' to describe a masculine plural noun (e.g., 'los carros rojas')."

Correction: Use the masculine plural form 'rojos' for masculine nouns: 'los carros rojos'.

⭐ Usage Tips

Placement is Key

The color adjective usually comes after the noun it describes: 'las botas rojas' (the red boots), not 'las rojas botas'.
