Adjective agreement in German requires the precise morphological adaptation of attributive adjectives to match the head noun in gender, number, and case. Candidates must distinguish between and correctly apply the three declension paradigms: Strong (zero article), Weak (definite article), and Mixed (indefinite article/possessives). Mastery of this system is a critical discriminator for AO3 (Accuracy), as it defines syntactic relationships within the sentence structure, distinguishing subject from object in a language with flexible word order.
