Synopsis
Lessons Six through Eleven focused on first and second declension nouns. However, if it was not for another vital part of speech, the adjective, nouns would lack vividness as
to definiteness, shape, size, quantity, color, and texture—words that describe nouns that otherwise would be general or bland. An overview concerning adjectives is first outlined
in this lesson with an emphasis upon how they function in English before comparing and contrasting their characteristics with those of Greek adjectives. Fifty-two MP3 audio files
are used in conjunction with this lesson. At the conclusion of the lesson, a study guide tests over the material presented.

Comprehensive Two-Terminal Adjective List
[
twoterminal.pdf] Instruction
Adjectives that exhibit two-terminal inflectional endings follow second declension endings. Most feminine adjectives belonging to this declension replicate the
masculine endings, however, a few vary between two and three-terminal adjectives. All second declension two-terminal adjectives which occur in NTGreek are listed with
their frequency in parenthesis in this study. SA 12:49-56
Comprehensive Three-Terminal Adjective List
[
threeterminal.pdf] Instruction
Unlike two-terminal adjectives, three-terminal adjectives decline feminine adjectives using forms from the first declension. Whereas most feminine adjectives exhibit
separate inflectional endings than masculine, a few vary between two and three-terminal adjectives. Also, eight contracted three-terminal first and second declension
adjectives exist in NTGreek that receive special attention at the end of this study. SA 12:57-72
