===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.
