I. Role of Adjectives

Like in English, adjectives are used to give more information about a given noun including size, number, color, etc. These describing words take a variety of forms depending on their position in the sentence as well as the type of article accompanying the noun. Sometimes the adjective stays in its original form, and other times, the adjective changes in one of several ways.

II. Adjective as Predicate

When the goal of a sentence is to describe a noun, the adjective serves as the predicate of the sentence.

Das Wetter ist schön.
The weather is nice.

Dein Freund ist intelligent.
Your (boy)friend is intelligent.

Der Kuchen ist lecker!
The cake is delicious!

Die Musik ist schrecklich.
The music is awful.
