Making Adjectives Match
In Spanish, words that describe things (adjectives) must match the thing they're describing. 'Humano' changes to 'humana' for feminine things, 'humanos' for multiple masculine things, and 'humanas' for multiple feminine things. For example: 'el niño humano' (the human boy), 'la niña humana' (the human girl).
Forgetting to Change the Ending
Mistake: “La especie humano es fascinante.”
Correction: La especie humana es fascinante. Because 'especie' (species) is a feminine word, you need to use the feminine form 'humana' to match it.
