「Sentence Structure」

The te (or de) form of an i- or a na-adjective, obtained by replacing the nai of the negative form of an i-adjective with te, or, with na-adjectives, by adding de to the stem is used to link adjectives or sentences, and it means "and."
NOTE: The tense of a sentence ending with an adjective is determined by the final form of the adjective or, in the case of na-adjectives, by the final form of the copula.
