Do not fill this in! ===Adjectives=== {{Main|Latin declension#Adjectives}} There are two types of regular Latin adjectives: first- and second-declension and third-declension. They are so-called because their forms are similar or identical to first- and second-declension and third-declension nouns, respectively. Latin adjectives also have [[comparative and superlative]] forms. There are also a number of Latin [[participles]]. Latin numbers are sometimes declined as adjectives. See ''[[Latin#Numbers|Numbers]]'' below. <em>First- and second-declension adjectives</em> are declined like first-declension nouns for the feminine forms and like second-declension nouns for the masculine and neuter forms. For example, for {{lang|la|mortuus, mortua, mortuum}} (dead), {{lang|la|mortua}} is declined like a regular first-declension noun (such as {{lang|la|puella}} (girl)), {{lang|la|mortuus}} is declined like a regular second-declension masculine noun (such as {{lang|la|dominus}} (lord, master)), and {{lang|la|mortuum}} is declined like a regular second-declension neuter noun (such as {{lang|la|auxilium}} (help)). <em>Third-declension adjectives</em> are mostly declined like normal third-declension nouns, with a few exceptions. In the plural nominative neuter, for example, the ending is ''-ia'' ({{lang|la|omnia}} (all, everything)), and for third-declension nouns, the plural nominative neuter ending is ''-a'' or ''-ia'' ({{lang|la|capita}} (heads), {{lang|la|animalia}} (animals)) They can have one, two or three forms for the masculine, feminine, and neuter nominative singular. ====Participles==== Latin participles, like English participles, are formed from a verb. There are a few main types of participles: Present Active Participles, Perfect Passive Participles, Future Active Participles, and Future Passive Participles.
