It is the way of students. I always find that we have to do some mini-grammar review sessions when we come to topics like that. All adjectives in a string take the same ending. Something has to show the gender. Keeps things simple.
Kids love it.
Mike Miller, Cheyenne Mt. JHS, Colorado Springs, CO Bring several newspaper articles, or else into the class. Have the students create the graph themselves and fill in the necessary endings. My students understand the reason for these endings much better when they have to explain the different cases. Continuous exercises of this kind will help foster an understanding of adjectives. Some books still thrust a whole unit on students, boring and intimidating them.
