Die historischen Gebäude in dieser Stadt sind sehr schön.

Questions & Answers about Die historischen Gebäude in dieser Stadt sind sehr schön.

Why does the adjective historischen end in -en here?
When an adjective comes right before a plural noun and after a definite article (like die), it always takes the -en ending. If the noun were singular, like das historische Gebäude, the adjective would just take an -e ending.
Is Gebäude singular or plural here? How can you tell?
It is plural. The neuter word das Gebäude (the building) doesn't change its spelling in the plural. You can tell it means "buildings" here because of the plural article die, the plural adjective ending on historischen, and the plural verb sind (are).
Stadt is a feminine noun. Why do we use dieser instead of diese?
Because of the preposition in. When in describes a fixed location (answering "where?"), it forces the following noun phrase into the dative case. For feminine nouns like die Stadt, "this" changes to the dative form dieser.
Why doesn't schön get an ending if it is describing the plural buildings?
In German, adjectives only get those tricky endings (like -e or -en) when they come directly before the noun they describe. When an adjective comes after a verb like sind (are), it stays in its basic dictionary form.
