Example Question #1 : Ap Latin Language
Which adjective correctly completes the sentence below?
Legionarii romani milites __________ in mundo sunt.
fortissima
fortissimi
fortissimis
fortissimes
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 #1 : Latin Adjectives
Which adjective correctly completes the sentence below?
Agricola __________ est.
laeti
laetus
laeta
laetum
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.

Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Mare __________ est.
placidum
placido
placida

Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Cornu capri __________ est.
longus
longo
longa
longum
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."
