LESSON XXXVI.
(Lección trigésima sexta.)
THE ADJECTIVE (contd.).
The adjective grande (great, large) may precede or follow a noun.
If it precedes it may drop the final syllable. When grande (or gran) precedes it generally refers more to quality than to size, but this rule is not strict at all, as much is left to the tone of the voice and also to gesture.
When "Santo" means "holy" it is always written in full.
When "Santo" means "saint" it drops the "to" before the name following.
