"Adjectives" describe a noun or pronoun.
Adjectives show the difference in nouns. They describe a nouns color, number, place and more. In Spanish, adjectives must follow their noun or pronoun in gender and number. This means that if the noun an adjective describes is masculine, the adjective must be masculine, and if that same noun is also plural, the adjective must be masculine AND plural.
In english many adjectives come before the noun they describe. In Spanish they come after the noun.
EXAMPLE:
In English we say: The blue car
In Spanish we say: El coche azul
In English the adjective blue comes before the noun car.
In Spanish the adjective azul (blue) comes after the noun coche (car).
