It is important to know Spanish adjectives because if you move to Mexico and you are a storywriter you need to describe things. If you are a reporter you have to interview people and you have to describe what they said. If you are a poet you have to explain what you mean. If you went to Spain and you hurt your leg, you would have to speak Spanish and use adjectives to describe the pain. If you were a scientist in Puerto Rico, you would have to know how to speak Spanish to describe what happened in the experiment. In conclusion if you are anywhere on Earth where people speak Spanish you have to know adjectives.

One way to remember popular is to remember how to say popular in English.

There once was a guy who always wore red and his name was Don. He was a very round man so they gave him the nickname Redondo.

Oscar Oscuro was a monster that only came out in the dark.

One way to tell what word in Spanish means tall is to remember that alto has 't', 'a', and 'l' also.

One way to remember what word is bright in Spanish is to remember how brilliant and intelligent people are also called bright. Brillante means bright, you just have to add an e to brilliant.

You can remember how to match verde with its English word because green has two e's and a r and so does verde.

Blue has four letters and so does azul. They both also have l and u. That's a way to remember blue in Spanish.
