Adjectives and definite articles

[Trellum]

Hi guys!  There is something I have had some issues with lately, I'm talking about the adjective endings in dutch!  I have heard this happens to a lot people, so hopefully this will help someone   For now I will only talk about adjectives and definite articles and how the latter affects the former.

Dutch only has two definite articles: De and Het.  An adjective gets the ''e'' ending if a definite article precedes the  noun, this applies both in the singular and plural form.  For example:

Singular:

De grote hond.

Het grote huis.

De grote jas.

De mooie vrouw.

Het mooie gezicht.

Plural:

De grote honden.

De oude huizen.

De leuke gezichten.

De eenvoudige taken.

*An adjective also gets an ''e'' ending if a demonstrative or possessive pronoun precedes the noun:

Deze oude hond.

Mijn oude hond.

Dit oude huis.

Mijn oude huis.

Here is a list of demonstrative pronouns in case you have forgotten:

Dit

Deze

Dat

Die

Possessive pronouns:

Mijn

Je/jouw

Uw

Zijn

Haar

Ons/onze

Jullie/je

Hun

I hope you find my notes helpful, I copied them from my notebook   I'll later explain more about the use of possessive and demonstrative pronouns in dutch.  More about adjectives to come as well   If you got any suggestion or corrections, please let me know.
