Questions & Answers about A resposta é fácil.
Why do we use é here instead of está?
Does the adjective fácil change if the noun is masculine?
No. Adjectives that end in -l, such as fácil or difícil, are neutral. This means they use the exact same form for both masculine and feminine nouns. You only need to change them if the noun is plural (which would become fáceis).
Is the noun resposta related to a verb?
Why do both é and fácil have accent marks?
In é, the accent distinguishes the verb "is" from the word e (which means "and" and is pronounced differently). In fácil, the acute accent tells you to put the spoken stress on the first syllable instead of the last one.
