Usage notes
[edit]- Most Spanish adjectives appear after the modified noun when used attributively. Forms of primero, however, can appear before the modified noun.
- When used before a modified masculine singular noun, the apocopate form primer is used instead of primero:
- Es el primer hijo. ― [He] is the first son.
- Es el hijo primero. ― [He] is the first son.
- This adjective is often used substantively, with the modified noun implied but omitted.
- ¿Cuál hijo es? Es el primero.
- Which son is [he]? [He] is the first [son].
