Questions & Answers about Los árboles verdes son diferentes.
Why are the adjectives verdes and diferentes not ending in "-os" to match the masculine noun árboles?
Adjectives that end in -e in their singular form (like verde and diferente) are invariable, meaning they don't change for masculine or feminine words. You just add an -s to make them plural. So, whether you are talking about masculine trees (árboles verdes) or feminine plants (plantas verdes), the adjective stays exactly the same!
Why do we add "-es" to make árboles plural, but only "-s" to make verdes and diferentes plural?
Why does árboles have an accent mark on the "á"?
The singular word is árbol, with the spoken stress on the "ar". When we add -es to make it plural, it adds a new syllable. Without the written accent mark, the natural rules of Spanish pronunciation would shift the spoken stress to the "bo" sound. We add the accent mark to árboles to force the stress to stay on the "ar" where it belongs.
