Grammar Notes & Usage Tips
•Conjugation Reminder**: Since 素晴らしい is an i-adjective, you can easily change it to the negative form by dropping the い and adding くない, making it 素晴らしくない for "not wonderful."
•Past Tense Tip**: To express that something "was wonderful," change 素晴らしい to its past tense form, 素晴らしかった, by swapping out い for かった.
•Particle Pairing**: When describing a noun as wonderful, use 素晴らしい directly before the noun. For example, 素晴らしい映画 means "a wonderful movie."
•Adverbial Form**: To use 素晴らしい as an adverb, change it to 素晴らしく by replacing い with く. This can modify verbs, as in 素晴らしく歌う, meaning "to sing wonderfully."
•い-adjective: Conjugates by changing the い ending
