Here are the long promised adjective conjugations!
These are more informal, because I don't know the formal ones.
Adjectives are split into 2 groups, な, and い adjectives.
These two have different styles of conjugation.
い always end with い.
With い adjectives;
-To put it into the present negative, replace ~い with ~くない
-To put it into the past, replace ~い with ~かった
-To put it into the past negative, replace ~い with ~くなかった
Example:
He isn't strong ;_;
あいつ が つよくない
He was strong
あいつ が つよかった
He was not strong
あいつ が つよくなかった
Easy isn't it?
There is one exception.
The adjective いい (Good)
It's conjugated as よい
So
よくない - Not good
よかった - Thats good (past)
よくなかった - Was not good
Now for な adjectives.
な adjectives don't always end in な, the only way to learn is to memorize which are which
We will use the word へん (strange) for this.
Lets start with the じゃconjugation
Negative past add ~
じゃありませんでした to the adjective (as it is, don't add a な to it)
Negative add ~
じゃありません to the adjective
~じゃない is a more informal negative
Now the では Conjugation
Negative add ~ではありません
Past add ~でした
Negative past, add ~ではありませんでした
Examples:
Not strange
へんじゃありません へんじゃない
Was Strange
へんじゃありませんでした
Not Strange
へんではありません
Was strange
へんではした
Wasn't strange
へんではありませんでした
Personally, the ~では sounds weird to me, as I am more use to using the ~じゃ
