English adjectives are invariant, unlike Spanish

Hi, OliverDF, I have a tip for you about English grammar concerning adjectives. I've noticed some of your edit summaries, like Minors changes, but this is not correct in English, and should be: "Minor changes". Unlike Spanish, where the adjective agrees with the noun in number (singular/plural: -s or absence of '-s') and in gender (masculine/feminine: niño listo / niña lista; and niños listos / niñas listas). This doesn't hapen in English, where we have: clever boy / clever girl, and clever boys, and clever girls. Notice that the adjective, clever, is the same in all cases: masculine or feminine, and singular or plural. Another example: "famous actor", "famous actress"; and: "famous actors", "famous actresses". See how it works? Mathglot (talk) 10:09, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
