Questions & Answers about Dobrá péče je pro dítě důležitá.

Why do dobrá and důležitá both end in -á?

Because both adjectives agree with péče.

• péče is feminine
• it is singular
• here it is in the nominative because it is the subject

So the adjectives also appear in the feminine singular nominative form:

• dobrý → dobrá
• důležitý → důležitá

This kind of agreement is a basic feature of Czech grammar.

Is péče really feminine, even though it ends in -e?

Yes. Péče is a feminine noun.

For English speakers, this can feel surprising because noun endings do not always match what you might first expect. In Czech, you often have to learn the gender together with the noun.

So it is:

• ta péče = the care
  not
• to péče or ten péče

That feminine gender is why the adjectives are dobrá and důležitá.
