💡 Grammar Note: In German, adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender (masculine/feminine/neuter), number (singular/plural), and case (nominative/accusative/dative/genitive). This lesson focuses on the basic forms (predicate adjectives, which do not change).

📌 Note: In German, colors change their endings when used as adjectives before nouns. The base form is used when the color follows the noun (predicative).

In German, adjectives change their endings based on the noun they modify. However, when used as predicate adjectives (after the verb "sein" - to be), they do not change. This is the form you see in this lesson.
Examples:
- Das Haus ist groß. (The house is big.) - No ending change
- Das große Haus (The big house) - Ending changes when before noun
