Lesson 3 - Vocabulary and adjectives

Hello, readers! Firstly, I have to apologize for my faults in writing english. Sometimes I get confused about when using "above" and "below". I corrected my earlier posts, because there were a lot of wrongly used "above"s. (lol)
I was planning to post here only in the weekends, but as today I am absent to school and have some free time, I decided to write one more post for you. So, let's start it!

Today, as I told you before, I'm posting a list of portuguese basic vocabulary, because we'll need it to study and form sentences later. The list is below:

Now, we know some basic portuguese vocabulary, so we can continue studying and start making simple sentences using them. Did you note I put some adjectives in the list? Let's learn how to use them today!
In portuguese, unlike in english, the adjectives always come after the nouns. Ex.:

1 - carro grande → big car
2 - casa pequena → small house
3 - sofá largo → large sofa
4 - menino bonito → beautiful kid

The adjectives are always equal in gender and number to the nouns. Ex.:

1 - casa bonita
2 - olho bonito
1 - casas bonitas
2 - olhos bonitos

The plural of nouns and adjectives

One adds "s" to the nouns and adjectives whose ending is a vowel. Ex.:

Carro grande → carros grandes
Olho grande → olhos grandes

One adds "es" to nouns and adjectives whose ending is "r" or "z". Ex.:

Cartaz → cartazes placards
Par → pares pairs

One takes off the "l" ending of a word and replaces it with "is" to form the plural. Ex.:

Coral → corais corals
Animal → animais animals
Anel → anéis rings
Azul → azuis blue

One replaces "il" and "el" for "eis" in words that have the acute accent on the penultimate syllable. Ex.:

Amável → amáveis kind, lovable, affable
Hábil → hábeis skilful, able, capable

One replaces "m" for "ns", because in portuguese, we only use the letter "m" before "p" and "b", so we have to change it to "n" before adding a "s". Ex.:

Tom → tons tones
Bom → bons good
Ruim → ruins bad

One adds "es" to words ended by "s" which have the acute accent on the last syllable. Ex.:

Gás → gases gases
Japonês → japoneses japanese people
Inglês → ingleses englishmen

Words which have the ending "x" don't change. Ex.:

Ônix → ônix
Tórax → tórax

One replaces "ão" by "ães", "ões" or "ãos". Ex.:

Mão → mãos hands
Pão → pães breads
Balão → balões balloons

And this is it. Grammar is a bit boring for most people, but it's very important, so pay attention to what I wrote above. I'm going to write now some simple sentences using the vocabulary I taught you today! See how the adjectives follow the nouns in gender and number.

1 - O livro é grosso.
2 - A carne é gostosa.
3 - As crianças são pequenas.
4 - A menina e o menino são gordos.
5 - Os olhos são bonitos.
6 - A cidade é grande.
7 - Os quartos são pequenos.
