Questions & Answers about El coche blanco tiene cuatro puertas.
Why is it cuatro puertas? Does cuatro need to change to feminine because puertas is feminine?
Why does the sentence say coche blanco instead of blanco coche?
In Spanish, describing words (adjectives) usually come after the thing they describe. So instead of saying "white car" like in English, you say "car white" (coche blanco).
Where does the word tiene come from?
The word coche ends in "e". How do I know if it is masculine or feminine?
Nouns ending in "e" do not have a strict gender rule like words ending in "o" or "a", so you just have to learn their gender when you memorize the word. In this sentence, you can easily tell coche is masculine because it uses the masculine word for "the" (el) and its describing word ends in a masculine "o" (blanco).
