AP Latin › Using second-declension adjectives in Latin
Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Mare __________ est.
placidum
placida
placido
placidus
"Mare" is a third declension neuter singular noun. Thus it requires the neuter nominative singular adjective form, "placidum."
Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Cornu capri __________ est.
longum
longus
longo
longa
"Cornu" is a neuter fourth declension noun. It appears in the nominative singular case in this sentence, meaning it requires the neuter nominative singular form "longum."
Which adjective correctly completes the sentence below?
Agricola __________ est.
laetus
laeta
laeti
laetum
Although "agricola" is a first declension noun, it is a rare exception to this declension in that it is masculine, meaning it would require the second declension masculine adjective form "laetus" in order to match grammtically in case, number and gender.
