Part 2: Put It Before a Noun

Make a phrase that describes the noun.

Question 1

i-adjective directly before noun.

Question 2

na-adjective needs な.

Question 3

delicious food: おいしい + 食べ物

i-adjective phrase.

Question 4

pretty picture: きれい + 写真

na-adjective needs な.

Answer Key and Explanations

1. 高くない

For i-adjective negative, drop い and add くない.

2. おいしくない

おいしい becomes おいしくない.

3. きれいじゃない

na-adjectives use じゃない for casual negative.

4. 静かじゃない

静か is a na-adjective, so it does not become 静かくない.

5. 新しい本

i-adjectives attach directly to nouns.

6. 静かな部屋

na-adjectives need な before nouns.

7. おいしい食べ物

おいしい directly modifies 食べ物.

8. きれいな写真

きれい needs な before 写真.

How to Use This Practice

  1. Answer once without notes, even if you are unsure.
  2. Check the explanation, not only the answer.
  3. Rewrite every missed item by hand or type it twice.
  4. Repeat the same set tomorrow before learning new material.

Common Mistakes

Treating きれい as i-adjective

きれい ends in い sound but is a na-adjective.

Forgetting な

Use な when a na-adjective comes before a noun.

Using くない for all adjectives

Only i-adjectives use くない.
