The Pretty Poetry
A' Bhàrdachd Bhòidheach
Particularly in poetry, we see nouns followed by adjectives, to be descriptive and informative.
We can also see this in the different cases: the nominative case, the dative or prepositional case and the genitive case.
We need to know the gender of the word first.
Take a look back at B1 Cuspair 17 for guidance on noun gender.
We learned the cases several times in the B1 course; you can look back at B1 Cuspair 4 and Cuspair 20 if you need to.
