Possessive adjectives

I learned that possessive adjectives consist of mi, tu, su, nuestro, vuestro, and su.  I learned that mi, tu, and su only have singular and plural form because they don't end in -o.  Nuestro and vuestro have four forms because they end in -o.  The four forms are masculine singular and plural and feminine singular and plural.

adjectives of nationality

Adjectives of nationality has four forms which are masculine singular and plural and feminine singular and plural.  I learned when a word end in a constant for example espanol, you would add -l, -la, -les, -las.  I learned that words that end in -dor are used just like adjectives of nationality. For example, -dora, -dores, -doras.

Regular Verbs

I learned that verbs ending in -ar, -er, and -ir are regular verbs.  I know that words ending in -er and -ir are similar to the verb -ar.  For -er the singular and plural words would end in -o, -es, -e and -emos, -eis, -en.  For -ir the singular and plural words end in -o, -es, -e and -imos, -is, -en.  The singular verbs for -er and -ir are the same.

AR Verbs

I learned with AR verbs you drop the -ar and add o, as, a when you are referring to singular 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person.  Also, you would add -amos, ais, and an when you are referring to plural 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person.

Adjective agreements

Adjective agreements are similar to nouns.  If a word end in -o it is masculine and if a word end in -a it is feminine.  If you want to make it plural, just make sure you add -os or -as.  Also i learned that when you are using adjectives, the adjective comes after the noun. So instead of saying green chair, you would say in spanish silla verde. I learned that adjectives that end in -o you would use o, a, os, as and adjectives ending with other vowels or constants you would use -s or -es.

Time

I learned that telling time in spanish is easy.  When you are telling time you are suppose to say "son las" before any number that follows. For example, if its is 12:15 i would say son las doce y cuarto.  The only time i would not use "son las" is in the event that it is 1:10.  At that time i would say Es la una y diez.  I also learned that anything past 30 you would count backwards.  For example, 1:35 would be son las dos menos veinte y cinco.  This was very interesting and i feel like i am learning alot.
