This month\u2019s blog will be talking about 1st\/2nd declension adjectives and 2nd declension neuter nouns. The answer’s to last month’s homework are at the bottom of the page. The purpose of reviewing these forms is to prepare us for next month’s in-depth passage translation from “Ille Hobbitus.”<\/span><\/p>\n

You will notice that in some respects the neuter noun looks similar to a 2nd declension masculine noun.<\/p>\n

1st\/2nd Declension Adjectives using\u00a0mult- us, a, um\u00a0<\/em> meaning\u00a0“much or many”<\/em><\/b><\/p>\n

Please note that the adjective will match the case and gender of the noun (i.e. feminine, masculine, or neuter).\u00a0<\/span><\/i>For review, the definition of an adjective is\u00a0a “word or phrase naming an attribute, added to or grammatically related to a noun to modify or describe it.” Examples of this would be “the big cat” or “the red desk.” Big and Red are describing words going back to a noun (Cat and Desk).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
