Adjectives are joined to Nouns to shew the sort or quality of the Noun, as, 'The wet south wind.' Adjectives change their form in Latin. Adjectives, therefore, must agree with the Noun they qualify in every particular of Number, Case, and Gender. When 'men' or 'things' are the words to be qualified, the Noun is often omitted and the Adjective put by itself. Simple Conjunctions join sentences, clauses of sentences, or single words together, as, 'Woods and trees flourish.' Madidus Notus evolat, Terribilemque tegit vultum.
