84. Thus far the adjectives have had the same terminations as the nouns.  However, the agreement between the adjective and its noun does not mean that they must have the same termination.  If the adjective and the noun belong to different declensions, the terminations will, in many cases, not be the same.  For example, nauta\, _sailor_, is masculine and belongs to the first declension.  The masculine form of the adjective bonus\ is of the second declension.  Consequently, a good sailor is nauta bonus\.  So, _the wicked farmer_ is agricola malus\.  Learn the following declensions: 

85. nauta bonus (bases naut- bon-), m., the good sailor
