Adjectives

There are two kinds of adjectives, -adjectives and -adjectives. I just start to learn adjectives this week, I will come back to this post and add more information next week. Below is the most simple sentence with adjectives.
-adjectives
ちいさい

Regular
Negative

Present
ちいさいです
ちいさくありません


It’s small
It’s not small

past
ちいさかったです
ちいさくありませんでした


It was small
It was not small

いい (irregular)
Present
いいです
よくありません

past
よかったです
よくありませんでした
When it's negative, use instead of  じゃ. 

-adjectives
しずかな

Regular
Negative

Present
しずかです
しずかじゃありません


It’s quiet
It’s not quiet

Past
しずかでした
しずかじゃありませんでした


It was quiet
It was not quiet

Compare with  い-adjectives, な-adjectives is much more simple to use in sentences. Just forget the な, everything else is the same.
