Matching Adjectives to Nouns
An adjective agrees with its noun in gender, number and case.
How It Works
An adjective agrees with its noun in gender, number and case.
The agreement follows grammatical gender even for things. A noun and adjective do not need to have matching written endings; each follows its own inflection class.
