Questions & Answers about A outra casa é grande.
Why does outra come before casa? I thought adjectives usually go after the noun in Portuguese.
Descriptive adjectives (like colors or sizes) usually go after the noun, but words that express quantity, order, or identity, like outra (other), muito (much), or numbers, come before the noun.
Why do we use é here instead of está?
If we were talking about a masculine word like a building (um prédio), would grande change to end in an 'o'?
No, grande stays exactly the same! Adjectives that end in -e are usually neutral, meaning they do not change based on masculine or feminine nouns. They only change if you make them plural (grandes).
Since this lesson is about comparatives, could I say mais grande if I wanted to say the house is bigger?
