Masculine Adjectives
Some Spanish adjectives have a shorter form (they drop their -o) when they precede a masculine singular noun. These adjectives include:
Remember that the short form is used when it precedes a masculine singular noun. If it follows a masculine singular noun (as it does in the above examples to the left), it preserves its complete form. The following examples show that for all other nouns the adjective is used in its complete form.
The adjective grande is generally reduced to its short form before a singular noun of either gender. It is not shortened when it follows a noun or when it is in the plural form. It is also important to note that when it comes before a noun grande means "great," when it follows its noun it means "big."
