Try this sentence translation exercise.

This chart shows how a base adjective can be declined as masculine, feminine or adjective. Basically, the form the adjective takes echoes the noun it modifies.  

Examples
puella bona = good girl
Deus bonus= the good God
agricola bonus = the good farmer (notice that since "agricola" is a natural masculine gender noun even though it's in the first declension, the adjective is in the masculine form.
