Detailed Explanation

In German, adjectives have a special feature: they are declined (change their ending) according to the gender, number, and case of the noun they accompany. This declension varies depending on whether the adjective is preceded by a definite article, an indefinite article, or no article at all.

Furthermore, adjectives can be used in predicative form (after the verb) or attributive form (before the noun).
