Adjectives
Adjectives are words that modify nouns. The adjective “classical” modifies the noun “language” in the sentence “We should all study a classical language.” In Greek, adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case.
Gender. As you learned in chapter 2, nouns have gender and are either masculine, feminine, or neuter. This means that masculine nouns must be modified by masculine adjectives, feminine nouns must be modified by feminine adjectives, and neuter nouns must be modified by neuter adjectives. Adjectives (usually) have endings for three genders to match the gender of the noun being modified.
Number. Agreement in number means that singular nouns are modified by singular adjectives and plural nouns are modified by plural adjectives.
Case. Finally, agreement in case means that nominative nouns must be modified by nominative adjectives, accusative nouns must be modified by accusative adjectives, etc.
