Making Adjectives Agree
'Blanco' is a describing word, so it changes to match the thing it describes. If the thing is feminine, use 'blanca'. If it's plural, add an 's': 'blancos' or 'blancas'. For example: el coche blanco (the white car), la casa blanca (the white house), los coches blancos (the white cars).
Forgetting to Match
Mistake: “La pared es blanco.”
Correction: Say 'La pared es blanca.' because 'pared' (wall) is a feminine word, so the describing word needs to match it.
