Adjective Position Exercises For Finnish Grammar

Find grammar exercises for language understanding 

In Finnish grammar, adjectives typically precede the noun they modify and agree in case and number with the noun. Differences in adjective position may depend on whether the adjective is attributive (directly describing a noun) or predicative (linked to the noun by a verb). In this exercise, we will focus on adjective position in various sentences to help you enhance your understanding of Finnish grammar. Let’s begin with two exercises containing 15 sentences each. Remember, the correct adjective will be given as a one-word cue in English, and you will need to fill in the blank with the correct Finnish word.
