One Form for Everyone
In Spanish, adjectives that end in '-e' don't change for men or women. You use 'impecable' for both 'un hombre' and 'una mujer'—no need to change the ending to '-a'!
Placement for Emphasis
Usually, 'impecable' comes after the noun (the thing it's describing), like 'un traje impecable.' If you put it before the noun, it sounds more poetic or dramatic.
The 'a' Trap
Mistake: “La casa está impecabla.”
Correction: La casa está impecable. Remember, this word always ends in 'e' regardless of the noun's gender.
