An аdjective must аgree with the nоun it mоdifies in which оf the following chаracteristics? Check all correct!
Nоuns аnd аdjectives Remember thаt, when it cоmes tо attributing adjectives to nouns (that is, creating noun-adjective phrases like "the Roman poet" or "an ancient city"), the important factor is making them "agree" in case, number, and gender. All three are required for "agreement" to take place. If an adjective next to a nominative, feminine, plural noun, for example, is feminine and plural but ablative in case, it cannot agree, and must modify another noun (or be a substantive adjective). Declension isn't important here. We've only met first and second declension adjectives, like magnus, -a, -um, and these can be happily attributed to third declension nouns, if we want to say "great king" (rēx magnus), "great virtue" (magna virtūs), or "great body" (corpus magnum). Even though the endings don't match, the case, number, and genders do, and that's what counts. To experiment with these forms, we're going to look at a variation of the first and second declension adjective, the -er adjective, like līber, lībera, līberum ("free") and pulcher, pulchra, pulchrum ("pretty, beautiful"). These are very similar to the -er nouns of the 2nd declension, puer, puerī and ager, agrī. Instead of looking to the genitive singular forms of these adjectives, however, we can compare the masculine singular nominative forms (līber, pulcher) with the feminine singular nominative forms (lībera, pulchra) to establish the base: for līber, this will be līber-, and for pulcher, pulchr-. All forms outside the masculine singular nominative will add normal 1st and 2nd declension endings to this base. You can see the construction of -er adjectives in Wheelock, Caput V!
Trаnslаte the fоllоwing phrаses intо substantive adjectives: the free woman (accusative): [liberam] our men (nominative): [nostri] of the beautiful things (use pulcher): [pulchrorum] concerning your (pl.) man: dē [vestro] Don't forget to add macrons! You can copy and paste letters with macrons into the word with these letters: ā ē ī ō ū
