[Footnote 1: /a:\ and /e:\ are used only before words beginning with
a consonant; /ab\ and /ex\ are used before either vowels or
consonants.]

_54._ Adjectives. Examine the sentence

Puella parva bonam deam amat,
_the little girl loves the good goddess_

In this sentence /parva\ (_little_) and /bonam\ (_good_) are not nouns,
but are descriptive words expressing quality. Such words are called
_adjectives_,[2] and they are said to belong to the noun which they
describe.

[Footnote 2: _Pick out the adjectives in the following:_ "When I
was a little boy, I remember that one cold winter's morning I was
accosted by a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder. 'My pretty
boy,' said he, 'has your father a grindstone?' 'Yes, sir,' said I.
'You are a fine little fellow,' said he. 'Will you let me grind my
ax on it?'"]

You can tell by its ending to which noun an adjective belongs. The
ending of /parva\ shows that it belongs to /puella\, and the ending of
/bonam\ that it belongs to /deam\. Words that belong together are said
to agree, and the belonging-together is called _agreement_. Observe that
_the adjective and its noun agree in number and case_.

_55._ Examine the sentences

Puella est parva,
_the girl is little_
Puella parva bonam deam amat,
_the little girl loves the good goddess_

In the first sentence the adjective /parva\ is separated from its noun
by the verb and stands in the predicate. It is therefore called a
_predicate adjective_. In the second sentence the adjectives /parva\ and
/bonam\ are closely attached to the nouns /puella\ and /deam\
respectively, and are called _attributive adjectives._

_a._ Pick out the attributive and the predicate adjectives in the
following:

Do you think Latin is hard? Hard studies make strong brains. Lazy
students dislike hard studies. We are not lazy.
