This exercise and the next will introduce you to some of the most common
adjectives in Old English, and incidentally give you a good bit
of practice reading simple sentences. To earn a high score, you
should already be familiar with the noun inflections in
Introduction to Old English Chapter 6; you should also
have read Chapter 8, “Adjectives.” In each of the tasks that
make up the exercise, you will find one or more adjectives that
modify a highlighted noun or pronoun, and then supply further
information.
