Endings of adjectives behind possessive pronounsSo far, we learned about endings of adjectives that are positioned between an article (definite or indefinite) and a noun (e.g. 'ein schönes Kleid'). Also, we learned that in the plural, the indefinite article does not exist and whenever there is no article - regardless of singular or plural - we use the adjective-endings for indefinite articles (second table on page 5).Let's have a quick and repeated look at the two endings-tables from earlier in this lesson: adjective-endings with definite articles
adjective-endings with indefinite articles (or no article)
What is still missing now, are the endings for adjectives in cases, in which we have a possessive pronoun (mein, dein, ihr, sein, etc ...) instead of an article. The adjective endings are exactly the same as for indefinite articles, except for the plural, where the ending is always '-en' (instead of '-e'). adjective-endings with possessive pronouns
To decomplicate the situation, let's consider the following three rules, which summarize all the adjective endings.
An old principle, which we cannot repeat often enough is again valid here: The accusative has NO effect whatsoever on either articles, adjectives or nouns, if they are feminine, neuter or plural. Exercise In the following sentences, put the correct ending behind each given adjective. Thereby, use the tables above or your good memory to determine the correct adjective ending in each case. Example: Marco will heute seinen groß __Garten pflegen. Marco will heute seinen groß enGarten pflegen. 1) Als erstes möchte ich ein schön Hemd kaufen.  2) Dein klein Bruder rasiert sich morgens. 3) Mein pink Pullover kostet sieben Euro. 4) Ich verkaufe meinen blau Fernseher. 5) Aber du willst meinen schwarz Fernseher kaufen. 6) Herr Specht ist mein sympatisch Lehrer. 7) Frau Kloster ist deine unsympatisch Lehrerin. 8) Ihr rot Kleid ist sehr schön . 9) Unser freundlich Nachbar (neighbor, masc.) heißt Herr Schilling. 10) Er mäht jeden Tag seinen grün Rasen.  previous page
