Spanish adjectives have to match the nouns they describe in gender and number. But what about noche and tarde? When nouns end in e, it’s sometimes difficult to tell if they are feminine or masculine. Take a look at this list for some examples:
| Spanish | English |
|---|---|
| el elefante | elephant |
| la fuente | fountain |
| la gente | people |
| el horizonte | horizon |
| la mente | mind |
| la noche | night, evening |
| la serpiente | snake |
| la tarde | afternoon, evening |
So, remember that we say:
Buenas tardes.(Good evening./Good afternoon.) Buenos tardes. Buenas noches.(Good evening./Good night.) Buenos noches.
