Adjectives describe nouns. fast beating scary musical

When an adjective comes after the noun it is describing, it adds no ending. Der Frosch ist grün. Der Vogel ist gelb. Die Maus ist braun.

When an adjective comes before the noun it is describing, an ending must be added. Die grüne Schlange. Das graue Kaninchen. Der braune Hund.

To determine the ending to add to an adjective which comes before the noun it is describing, you must ask yourself the following questions: Is there an initial word? (An initial word is a word like der or ein) NoYes Help

Does the initial word supply an important letter? In other words, does it show gender and case? ( Bear in mind that all but plain old ein do!) YesNo

If the initial word is above the line on the appropriate table, then add an –e as the adjective ending. If the initial word is below the line on the appropriate table, then add an –en as the adjective ending. nom de r da s di e ein e acc de n da s di e ein en ein e dat de m m r eine m m r gen de s s r eine s s r plural di e/ di e /de n r Masc.
