In this page we deal with the gender and number agreement that an adjective must show with the noun it modifies.
Contrary to English, where the adjective is invariant, in Spanish the adjective agrees in number and gender with the noun taking on in principle four forms. Some adjectives do not change for gender and thus are two form adjectives. Since the rules for number agreement are the same as for nouns, we concentrate mostly on gender agreement.
