Changing them between past and present and affirmative and negative, just like Japanese verbs. Only when they're predicate adjectives, not when they're modifying the noun they precede.

Ah, I get it. Still strange to someone not used to it, but I can wrap my brain around verb-agreement for predicate adjectives. Huh. Do any other languages do that? The few I know about make the predicate adjective agree with the subject, as they would for any other noun, not the verb.
