EXTRA PRACTICE with adjective endings:
http://www.geradstetten.wn.schule-bw.de/klasseklasse/lernen/endungen.htm
This exercise covers the three categories of adjective endings: after a definite article, after an indefinite, and unpreceded, so it will really benefit to work through this. Try doing this without looking back and forth to the charts. Go with what you know: look at case, gender, number (i.e. singular or plural). Ask yourself: Is the noun preceded by a definite or an indefinite article, or no article at all? Fill it out and check your answers. Bring to class on 4/14 and we will review.
