==Lesson==
In simple terms, an adjective is a word that describes a noun. For example, [[Αγαθος]] meaning "good" is an adjective.
===Declensions===
In [[Koine Greek]], unlike English, adjectives change in form depending upon the way in which their noun is used in a sentence. An adjective needs to match the noun it describes in case, gender and number.
===Uses of an adjective===
====Attributive====
====Predicative====
====Substantive====
===Adjectival uses of prepositional phrases===
It is possible in Greek for a prepositional phrase to function as either an attributive adjective or a substantive adjective. By inserting the prepositional phrase between the definite article and the noun, the prepositional phrase becomes an attributive adjective.
