                              The Adjectives Tense Chart

                              If you want to find the past-tense of adjectives, then this is the chart for you. We'll be using the adjectives 'delicious - おいしい' and 'strange - へんな' for examples. The adjective is in grey, while the add-ons will be in red.

                              Tense Type

                              present
                              joining
                              negative
                              past
                              negative past

                              Adjectives ending in 'い'

                              おいしい
                              おいしくて
                              おいしくない
                              おいしかった
                              おいしくなかった

                              Adjectives ending in 'な'

                              へんな
                              へんで
                              へんじゃない 
                              へんでした
                              へんじゃなでした
                              So for example, to make an adjective negative, add  くない onto it if it ends in い, or  じゃない if it ends in な. Just remember to take off either the い or な when you change an adjective.
