Adjectives

1. Occur in 1^st/2^nd & 3^rd declensions

2. Declined the same way as nouns

3. Occur in all 3 genders

4. Must agree in gender case & number with the nouns they are modifying

5. Do not have to be in the same declension as the nouns being modified

6. usually follow the noun being modified (eg – servi fatui sub arbore sedent ubi Davus eos exspectat.)

7. Can be made into adverbs by adding –e or –iter

8. can be made from the 4^th principle part of verbs

For instance, when adding an adjective to modify puella, you can choose either a 1^st or 3^rd declension noun. The resulting declension charts will look like this:

Pulchra puella, pulchrae puellae, f – beautiful girl

Case	Singular	Plural
Nom.	Pulchra puella	Pulchrae puellae
Gen.	Pulchrae puellae	Pulchrarum puellarum
Dat.	Pulchrae puellae	Pulchris puellis
Acc.	Pulchram puellam	Pulchras puellas
Abl.	Pulchrā puellā	Pulchris puellis
Voc.	Pulchra puella	Pulchrae puellae

Felix puella, felicis puellae, f- happy girl

Case	Singular	Plural
Nom.	felix puella	felices puellae
Gen.	felicis puellae	felicium puellarum
Dat.	Felici puellae	felicibus puellis
Acc.	felicem puellam	felices puellas
Abl.	felici puellā	felicibus puellis
Voc.	felix puella	felices puellae

NB- in 3^rd declension, adjectives end with an –i in both the dative and ablative singular, unlike regular 3^rd declension nouns; otherwise, adjectives are declined the same way as nouns.
