Example Question #1 : Using Comparative Adjectives In Latin
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.
laeta
laetus
laeti
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.
Example Question #1 : Using Second Declension Adjectives In Latin
Which adjective form properly completes the sentence?
Mare __________ est.
placidum
placida
placido
placidus
placidum
"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
longa
longo
longus
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."
