What do adjectives agree on ?

Hey guys I am stuck and no matter what I do, I cannot figure it out. The part I am stuck on is:

Adjectives must agree with a noun depending on whether it's (blank) or (blank). They also agree according to weather the nouns is (blank) or (blank).

Like other adjectives,possessive adjective agree in (blank) with the nouns that follow them. Only (blank) and (blank) have different masculine and feminine endings.

I cannot make any sense of it can somebody please help me.

Think about this:

Ella está cansados.

This sentence is wrong. Why? Because "cansados" is masculine and it is in the plural, while the pronoun is feminine and singular. The correct sentence should be: Ella está cansada.

I assume your teacher has asked you to complete the blanks to show you understand how it works. Try and remember your lesson or use jtaniels link.

In the end an adjective usually goes after the noun but can go before when it changes its meaning. It agrees with the noun is male/female/singular/ plural.

I bet if you typed what you have been given in google you would find the complete phrase - but would you have revised how to use adjectives?

Incidentally, though you may be feeling under the weather, the word here is 'whether'
