Exercise Language: Adjectives

Adjectives exercises play a vital role in learning Catalan grammar. Just like in English, adjectives in Catalan are used to describe or modify nouns. However, adjectives in Catalan usually follow the noun they modify, which is different from English. For example, “un home alt” translates to “a tall man” in English, but in Catalan the word for tall (alt), follows the noun (home).

In addition, Catalan adjectives must agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. For instance, “dones joves” (young women), here the adjective ‘joves’ is in feminine and plural form to match ‘dones’. Hence, exercises and drills that require students to match adjectives to appropriate nouns are beneficial for reinforcing this aspect of Catalan grammar.

Exercises could also include adjective-noun order, which trains learners to naturally place the adjective after the noun in their sentences. Gap-fill exercises or sentence reordering tasks could be effective in practicing this.

Finally, comparative and superlative adjectives also play a big part in Catalan grammar. For example, ‘més alt’ or ‘el més alt’ means ‘taller’ or ‘the tallest’. So exercises that involve comparing two things can help students to understand and apply these
