Example Question #1 : Latin Adjectives
Which adjective correctly completes the sentence below?
Legionarii romani milites __________ in mundo sunt.
fortissima
fortissimes
fortissimi
fortissimis
fortissimi
Although "fortis" is a third declension adjective, in its superlative comparative form, "fortissimus," it functions as a second declension adjective; this means that in order to agree with "milites," which is itself an appositive for "Legionarii," it must be in the second declension masculine nominative plural, "fortissimi."
Example Question #2 : Latin Adjectives
Which adjective correctly completes the sentence below?
Agricola __________ est.
laetus
laeta
laetum
laeti
laetus
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.
Example Question #3 : Latin Adjectives
Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Mare __________ est.
placida
placidus
placidum
placido
placidum
"Mare" is a third declension neuter singular noun. Thus it requires the neuter nominative singular adjective form, "placidum."
Example Question #4 : Latin Adjectives
Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Cornu capri __________ est.
longum
longus
longo
longa
longum
"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."

belli
"Bellum" is a second declension neuter noun; thus, in the genitive descriptive strucutre of the sentence above, the proper answer is "belli," the genitive singular of "bellum."

Puellae ad villam __________.
ambulant
