Na-Adjectives (Review from the last semester, JPN102) 
Casual/Direct/Plain forms 

Note: Unlike -i adjectives above (-na adjectives often conjuage in the same way as nouns), you need to use だ (plain form of –です is –) or だっ た (plain form of –した) when using them in a -です predicates to indicate past or non-past.  In other words, they do not change forms (they do not conjugate) to indicate past forms.

* Since 大きな and小さな are only used with nouns (E.g. 大きな人 big person/people、小さなさかな small fish), they do not have predicate forms (in another words, it cannot be used with -です).  Therefore, use the same forms as those of i-adjective forms for these conjugations.
