If you want to add your personal opinion or describe something, the adjectives are a perfect tool for you. That is, most often adjectives are used to describe a noun, or distinguish the noun from a group of similar objects. Adjective (as articles) have to agree with the nouns (gender and number).
GENDER - if the noun is feminine, the adjective must be feminine too.

la muchacha alta (the tall girl)
el menino bonito (the handsome boy)
la menina bonita (the beautiful girl)
E.g.
las muchachas altas (the tall girls)
los meninos bonitos (the handsome boys)
las meninas bonitas (the beautiful girls)
