In German, you can put a describing word, an adjective, before a noun, just like in English. For example, instead of just 'the pullover', you can say 'the red pullover'. Let's see how this works.
Lesson#2
Let's start with a masculine noun, like 'der Pullover'. To add an adjective like 'rot', which means red, you put it between the article and the noun. The adjective gets an 'E' ending. So, 'the red pullover' is 'der rote Pullover'.
Quiz#3
How do you say 'the red pullover' in German?
der rote Pullover
Lesson#4
The pattern is the same for feminine nouns. For 'die Wohnung', meaning 'the flat', if we use the adjective 'klein' for 'small', it also gets an 'E' ending. 'The small flat' becomes 'die kleine Wohnung'.
Quiz#5
Translate into German: 'the small flat'.
die kleine Wohnung
Lesson#6
And it works for neuter nouns too. With 'das Wasser', for 'the water', and the adjective 'kalt' for 'cold', you get 'das kalte Wasser'. Notice the adjective ending is still 'E'.
