I tCClS OHIy tUC piCSCil ana | the preterite indicative. It is 8 change in the manner of representing the final | sound of the stem, not a change in the sound itself. Its purpose is to prevent | a change In sound: to retain before the l weak vowel the same sound of the final stem- -consonant that is used be- | fore and o. the strong vowels. The following verbs. given in their principle
 parts only (the present subjunctive, however. replacing the present indica- tive.) illustrate this consonant change -and also the vowel-change. the one at | the end of the stem and the other with | in it:
 Pres. Inf. Prest. Part.
 Empezar, to begin, empezando, Forzar. to force, forzando. Jugar. to play. jugando.
 Negar. to deny. negando. Past Part. empezado. 1ugado. s, forzado, negado. Pres. subj. Pret. Ind. empiece. empece. fuerce, force, Juegue. jugue. Tl | niegue. negue. (c) Both of these peculiarities occur in verbs of the other conjugations also the first. or diphthongization of accent ed stem-vowel, being found chiefly in old verbs.

 24 The adjective agrees wilh the noun, which it limits in gender and number.
 25. Long attributive adjectives usual ly follow the limited noun, except when emphasis or rhetorical effort is sought. A few adjectives in ordinary use al- ways precede the noun; a few others are used either before or after, but with a difference in meaning: a few appear indfferently in either position.
 26. The adjective is infected for | number and gender, in its primary use | and also when employed as a substan- tive. But bueno, good. malo, bad, pos- trera, last, primero, first, tercero, third, | uno, one, alguno. some or any, nln- | guno, not any omit O before a mascu- | line singular noun.
 27 The plural of the adjective is | formed by adding 8 to the singular, | wSen this ends in an unaecented vowel | but es Is added, when 1t ends in a con- l sonant or in an accented vowel.
 a The feminine of the adjective is | formed by substituting a for the mas culine ending O, or by adding a when | the masclne form has a consonant | ending, such as an, ol, on, or. uz or the | ending ote, etc But many adjectives | have common form for both genders: such are a few in a and fsAbut many in Q, al, el. il, ul, en, in, un, Tar. uz, ez, iz. oz. But this in the latter ad- tectives becomes before es, the plural ending.
