| | Notice that the adjective tov is inflected to match the gender and number of the noun it is modifying. | | | In the example above, the Ayin cannot accept a dagesh, and the Patach vowel “compensates” by lengthening to a Qamets. | | | For example, here are the inflections for the adjective tov: |

| | In this sentence, the possessive adjective ``our'' modifies ``way'' and the noun phrase ``our way'' is the direct object of the compound verb ``have lost''. | | | In this sentence, the possessive adjective ``my'' modifies ``assignment'' and the noun phrase ``my assignment'' functions as an object. | | | Grammarians also consider articles (``the,'' ``a,'' ``an'') to be adjectives. |

| | And now that you know the noun and adjective declensional endings, you might want to move on to the pronoun declensions, where you will find a pleasant surprise. | | | In English, for example, one may say 'city transportation' but in Russian the word город 'city' must first be converted to an adjective, городской, before this phrase is possible: городской транспорт. | | | Russian adjective declensions are based on the same set of cases but the endings are different and, rather than corresponding to declension classes as do the nouns, the adjective declensions vary according to agreement, as discussed in previous chapters. |

Consider the following examples: | | | An adjective clause is a dependent clause which takes the place of an adjective in another clause or phrase. | | | In formal writing, an adjective clause begins with the relative pronouns "who(m)," "that," or "which." In informal writing or speech, you may leave out the relative pronoun when it is not the subject of the adjective clause, but you should usually include the relative pronoun in formal, academic writing: |
