One ending for everyone

In Spanish, words ending in '-e' like 'favorable' don't change for masculine or feminine nouns. You can use it for both 'un resultado' (boy word) and 'una respuesta' (girl word) without changing the ending.

Making it plural

To talk about more than one thing, simply add an '-s' to the end: 'resultados favorables'.

The 'A' ending mistake

Mistake: “La situación es favorabla.”

Correction: La situación es favorable. Remember, just because 'situación' is feminine doesn't mean you change the 'e' at the end of the adjective.
