Welcome to SD. Jenny, if this is for homework, give it a try first, then we can help you. If not, here on this site is a great grammar section under Learn on the blue toolbar. If you click grammar and then look under ' nouns' you will see 2 great articles about this with some pracitce exercises attached. Here is the link:

I'm adding a link for the adjective agreement:

Reading that section is great advice.

In general, the forms that end in O for masculine will also have a corresponding form ending in A for feminine nouns.

Most that end in a consonant or 'e' will be the same for either gender.

There are always exceptions but the above and the article link provided by katydew will take you a long ways.
