first the basic:
there are 2 adjective type: adjective that get ending with -i and other that end at -na. there no change in meaning in both except they conjugate different

adjective like verb, are change depend on tense, but only if the come at end of sentence.
if you want say: i am pretty, you must change adjective. but since this is very informal you dont have to. but for all other tense you have no choice to change, informal or not.

this informal construction for -i adjective, example adjective are kakkoi:
present(is) kakkoii
present negative(isnt) kakkoyo ku nai
past(was) kakkoyo katta
past negative(wasnt) kakkoyo ku nakatta
so if yo want saying i am not handsome, you are not handsome, that man wasnt handsome, that man is handsome etc. you will use one form from top.
this is polite:
present (is) kakkoii desu
present negative(isnt) kakkyo ku arimasen
past(was)kakkyo katta desu
past negative(wasnt) kakkyoku arimasen deshita

with -na adjective taisetsu na:
informal-
present(is) taisetsu na
present negative(isnt) taisetsu ja nai
past(was) taisetsu datta
past negative(wasnt) taisetsu ja nakatta
this is polite:
present (is) taisetsu desu
present negative(isnt) taisetsu ja arimasen
past(was) taisetsu deshita
past negative(wasnt) taisetsu ja arimasen deshita
you are able see that -na take desu everytime because -i are adjectives with own grammar rules (which is why the have ku), and -na is more relate to noun. you will not see the desu if you do not know how to conjugate desu/da/de gozaimasu(those are informal and polite form of desu)

now, if you want say "my clothes are warm and cute" you do NOT say "atashi no fuku wa atatakai soshite kawaii yo!" that is WRONG!!!!!!!! you must make adjective in there own special -te form (but that does not mean they can be use as command)
for -i adjective you drop -i and put -kute
and for -na you drop -na and put -de
so this sentce is to be: atashi no fuku wa atatakute kawaii yo!
this is same for no matter how many adjective have!

if you want sya: her clothes is probably warm, you put darou, or politer, deshou
example: ano shito no fuku wa atatakai darou/deshou
if you want to say probably not:
with na adjective(example tokubetsu na) tokubetsu ja nai darou/deshou
with -i (example utsukushii) utsukushiku nai darou/deshou
if you want to say in past:
for -na: tokubetsu datta darou/deshou
for -i: utsukushi katta darou/deshou
if you want say past negative:
for -i utsukushiku nakatta darou/deshou
for -na tokubetsu ja nakatta darou/deshou
