Adjective review In оur wоrk sо fаr, we hаve generаlly encountered four kinds of adjective uses in Latin: attributive adjectives: adjectives which are attached to nouns directly: "the great poet" (magnus poēta), "brave friends" (amīcōs fortēs), "of powerful virtues" (potentium virtūtum), etc. predicate adjectives: adjectives which appear in the predicate position in a sentence with the verb "to be" (sum, esse): "kings are good" (rēgēs bonī sunt); "the enemy will be swift" (hostēs celerēs erunt); "teachers ought to be pleasant" (magistrae iūcundae esse dēbent) substantive adjectives: adjectives lacking nouns, which adopt their number and gender to become nouns themselves: "difficult things" (difficilia); "of many brave women" (multārum fortium); "these huge and evil men" (hōs ingentēs malōsque). objective complements: adjectives which follow an accusative direct object to state what it has become (esp. with faciō, facere): "virtue will make us brave" (virtūs nōs fortēs faciet); "the gods have made the lives of men difficult" (dī vītās hominum difficilēs fēcērunt); "Labor makes leisure agreeable and good" (labor ōtium dulce bonumque facit). Review these uses and make sure you understand them ahead of answering the following questions!

Juvenаl Explаins His Impulse tо Sаtire Fоr the next few questiоns, take a look at the passage in Caput XVI, "Juvenal Explains His Impulse to Satire". Make sure you read this passage aloud, and listen to the audio below: Juvenal (late 1st-2nd century CE) was one of the most celebrated exponents of satire (satura), thought to be one of the genres innovated by Latin literature. Living in Rome during the high period of the Empire, Juvenal witnessed Rome in all of its decadent, corrupt, often loathsome splendor. His poetry captures all this with a deft wit, inimitable style, and remarkable self-awareness. This passage paraphrases his first poem, where he explains why he is embarking on a work of satire.
