How to Use This

To know what adjective ending you are supposed to use at a certain time, just click on the article that is present and what gender and case it is in, and this will give you what adjective ending you should use.

If the actual article is not in any of the charts, then think about if it is a “der” word or an “ein” word and what gender/ case it is in.
