The Basic Spanish Colors

Using Spanish colors with masculine /feminine / singular / plural nouns

1. Use the opposite word order from English (a ‘red shoe’ in English would be a ‘shoe red’ in Spanish)
2. Depends whether the object you’re describing is masculine or feminine
3. Depends whether the object you’re describing is singular or plural

Examples:
Shoe in Spanish is masculine (el zapato)
Strawberry in Spanish is feminine (la fresa)

A red shoe = un zapato rojo
Two red shoes = unos zapatos rojos

A red strawberry = una fresa roja
Two red strawberries = unas fresas rojas
