Section 411

They are just showing you the difference between Latin and English when using the listed adjectives. Latin makes the adjectives agree with the noun; English has a noun and "of".

Examples:
At the end of the year
Extremo anno
In the middle of the road
In media via
The rest of the men
reliqui viri

Sections 412-414

Genitives and ablatives of description

They suggest using genitive with numbers, as this is common:

a group of six men
manus sex virorum
an army of two legions
exercitus duarum legionum

They suggest using genitive with genus (kind/sort) and modus (manner/sort):

a man of this sort
vir huiusmodi
soldiers of all kinds
milites omnium generum
women of every type
feminae cuiusque generis

Ablative of description is common with physical features and with temporary states of mind:

They were men of great height. {Don't use genitive even though it sounds genitive.
Illi erant magna statura.
She was a woman with beautiful hair.
Ea erat pulchris capillis.
He was of good cheer (i.e. happy). {Don't use genitive even though it sounds genitive.
Fuit bono animo.
I was in bad spirits.
Eram malo animo.

You can use either ablative or genitive to describe most personal abstract qualities such as bravery, wisdom, or faith:

a leader of great intelligence
dux magnae intellegentiae
a queen of similar wisdom
regina similis sapientiae
an enemy of extreme audacity
hostis extrema audacia(abl.)


Sections 415-16

Eius(gen.) oblitus sum.
I remember you.
Tui memini.
