I was looking for everyone to work out 2 rules of how to make adjectives plural in Spanish

Most of you will devise more than 2 rules to make adjectives plural

Some of you will predict plural patterns from adjectives you have looked up yourself

This is because you cannot achieve a level 4 if you do not show your

knowledge of grammar

Today we are learning to understand the impact of number on adjectives in

Spanish.
