"Com'è andata la settimana scorsa?" "Che cosa hai fatto la settimana scorsa?"
- adjectives will have four forms or two forms.
For instance,
the adjective "generoso" ends with an "-o" in the dictionary in the masculine singular. So it will have four forms, ending in -o, -a, -i, -e.
The adjective "divertente" ends with an "-e" in the dictionary, so it will only have two forms, ending in -e (singular) and ending in -i (plural).
