| singulāris | saccus magnus est |
| plūrālis | saccī magnī sunt |
| singulāris | vir est |
| plūrālis | virī sunt |
-us becomes -ī in the plural, and est becomes sunt. Watch the verb: it tells you if the subject is one thing or more.
Magnus, magna, magnum
| portus | magnus |
| nāvis | magna |
| mare | magnum |
The adjective's ending matches its noun's gender (masculine, feminine, neuter), not always the noun's spelling. Nauta Graecus: nauta ends in -a but is masculine.
-ne?
| quaestiō | Estne Gāius vir? |
| respōnsum | Nōn est vir. |
| quaestiō | Quis est Dāmōn? |
| quaestiō | Quot saccī sunt? |
-ne on the first word turns a statement into a yes/no question. Latin has no word for "a" or "the"; add them as English needs.
