Need for Noun-Adjective Agreement Is Fundamental Rule

Sunday September 21, 2008
One of the basic rules of Spanish grammar is that nouns must agree in number and gender with the adjectives that accompany them. If you're new to learning Spanish, this may be one of the first grammar rules you learn that's different than the ones you already know from studying English.

Very true it is also why I found learning spanish difficult at first. I think that learning the basic rules of the language first is very important. Knowing that there is no neutral gender for example (just boy or girl) is important for structuring sentences. I was going over basic phrases on this one site http://www.quiz-buddy.com/Spanish_Phrases_with_Audio.html and I like that you can start off with easy simple words and phrases. It makes learning the language very easy.
