Take note... 1- Memorize singular and plural adjectives together. Plural adjectives are tricky if they experience internal structural alterations that are very different from their singular counterparts. 2- But on a good note: Adjectives have only one plural form. Now that makes it a little easier, doesn't it! 3- Develop an ear for the plural form of adjectives. Notice recurring patterns in sound for different groups of adjectives.
