INTERROGATIVE WORDS

Interrogative words are words used to form questions. They are also known as "question words". Some common interrogative words include "who", "what", "when", "where", "why", and "how". These words are used to seek information or clarification from others. Interrogative words are the foundation of communication because they allow us to gain information, express confusion, and understand others better. By using interrogative words, we can ask the right questions to uncover the answers we need.

ADJECTIVE

Spanish adjectives like in any other language are words used to describe or modify nouns or pronouns. Adjectives can provide more information about the size, color, shape, nationality, age, personality, or any other characteristic of the noun they accompany.In Spanish, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.  For example, instead of saying "a blue car" as in English, in Spanish one would say "un coche azul," with the adjective "azul" (blue) following the noun "coche" (car). One of the most interesting aspects of Spanish adjectives is that they must agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify. Masculine adjectives end in vowel -o, and  feminine adjectives end in vowel -a. This means that if the noun is feminine, the adjective must also be feminine, and if the noun is plural, the adjective must be plural as well. For example, to describe a group of red flowers, one would say "flores rojas" (the feminine plural form of "red").
