    German attributive adjectives have three declension patterns: strong declension without a definite article where endings clearly show gender, number, and case; weak declension with a definite article where endings are less distinctive; and mixed declension with an indefinite article that combines elements of strong and weak. The declension patterns can be learned through memorizing a declension table where most forms follow predictable patterns of adding "-en" for plural or "-e" for other cases.
