Gender and Number Agreement

Gender and number agreement is an important aspect of Portuguese grammar. In Portuguese, nouns have gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural). Understanding how to use them correctly will help you form sentences properly.

Key Points

  • Nouns in Portuguese are either masculine or feminine.
  • Adjectives must agree in gender and number with the nouns they describe.
  • Singular nouns become plural by following specific rules.

Common Nouns

Common nouns are words that name general items, people, or places. They are not capitalized unless they start a sentence. In Portuguese, common nouns are used the same way. They can be masculine or feminine, and they need to agree in gender and number with articles and adjectives.

Key Points

  • Common nouns are general names for items, people, or places.
  • In Portuguese, nouns have genders: masculine and feminine.
  • Nouns must agree in gender and number with articles and adjectives.
