The Latin Adjectives: An Introduction
The Latin Adjectives: An Introduction
The purpose of this course is to give an introduction to and an overview of the Latin adjectives. These are often overlooked by beginners in the language, as their endings mostly correspond to those of the first, second and third declensions of nouns. However, there are adjectives that do not have endings that exactly correspond. Also, while adjective function in Latin mostly as they do in English, there are differences that need to be explained.
The most important of these differences is "the principle of agreement," or that adjectives in Latin must correspond with the nouns they describe in
case
gender
number
A further point is that, because they decline, adjectives in Latin have a larger ability to stand as nouns in their own right.
The course is arranged into seventeen lessons. These range between about three and ten minutes each, and these try to cover each topic in a logical manner. How you choose to watch the lessons is for you to decide. Even so, it is probably a good idea to watch them in the order I have given them. This is particularly so if you feel weak in the general area of grammar, as the early lessons explain the nature of adjectives using English examples.
