    Thinking about the grammar

    The adjective becomes plural when it describes something plural.

    The adjective is in the masculine form when it refers to a either a group of males or to a mixed group. (ejemplos 1, 2, 4 y 5)

    The adjective is feminine when it refers to a group of females. (ejemplo 3)

    For examples 4 and 5, the adjectives would have been feminine if all of the people in the groups being referenced were female.
