In todays lesson, we learnt about the different types of places where you can live. We also revised the different rooms of the house. At the start of the lesson we did a few exercise to make sure we understood the adjective endings.

There are two ways of decribing a noun. The first way is to say 'the tree is small' and 'the small tree'. When saying this in german, you use different endings depending on the way you say it. When then word 'klein' appears in from of the noun, it has to have an ending. The endings change according the the number, case and gender.
