Question

the plurals of adjectives (p. 156)
adjectives, just like definite articles, must match the noun they accompany.
singular adjectives go with singular nouns, and plural adjectives go with plural
nouns.
adjectives that end in -o or -a must also match the noun. masculine (-o) adjectives
go with masculine nouns and feminine (-a) adjectives go with feminine nouns.
adjectives that end in -e do not change to match masculine or feminine nouns.
they still change to match singular and plural nouns: el libro interesante,
