Do adjectives come before or after the nouns they modify in Spanish? usually after, right? Maybe...? Sometimes...? In this video I discuss four kinds of adjectives and how adjective type influences whether they should be placed before or after the nouns they modity.

  • Me quisiera clarar algunos problemas que estoy teniendo.. ¿Qué categoria son las palabras único/única, solo/sola, siguiente ect.. y dónde se las pone? A veces la veo antes y a veces depués...

  • @TheQuintessentialBM Buena pregunta! Son adjetivos, y pertenecen a la categoría que menciono al final del video, es decir: su significado varía, dependiendo de que si se ponen antes o después del sustantivo que modifican. Voy darles algunos ejemplos: Él es mi único amigo (he is my only friend) / Él es una persona única (he's a unique person). No hablo una sola palabra de alemán (I don't speak a single word of German) / Es una persona muy sola. (He/she is a very lonely person, or "solitaria")
