Taking the time to learn different adjectives in Spanish is very important. They basically allow us to increase our vocabulary significantly and to describe actions, feelings, things, places and ideas. An adjective describes, modifies, or quantifies.

In Spanish we use the verb “estar” to say how someone is or to talk about the state of something, usually something which is temporary: actions, condition, mood and emotions. We also use it to say where someone or something is (location).

In Spanish we use the verb “gustar” to talk about likes and preferences. “Gustar” is an important but also a particular verb in Spanish.
