I have to be able to identify an adjectives gender tomorrow. Could you maybe give me some exercises to practice it?

You're probably up through first and second declensions, right? Adjectives will match the endings on the nouns they modify.
1st decl = http://econrad.net/latin/ln1.html
2nd decl = http://econrad.net/latin/ln2.html

First declension endings on adjectives -- always feminine:
Singular endings ~
-a
-ae
-ae
-am
-a

Plural endings ~
-ae
-arum
-is
-as
-is

Second declension endings on adjectives -- always masculine or neuter:
Singular endings -- masculine, then neuter:
-us, -um
-i, -i
-o, -o
-um, -um
-o, -o

Plural endings -- masculine, then neuter:
-i, -a
-orum, -orum
-is, -is
-os, -a
-is, -is

Pulcher is a commonly used early adjective.

NOMINATIVE (used for subjects and predicate nominatives or pred. adjectives)
A pretty girl = puella pulchra
The pretty girls = puellae pulchrae

ACCUSATIVE (used for direct objects and some objects of prepositions)
He saw the Roman houses. = Casas Romanas videt. (Romanus is the adjective here, modifying casas, the direct object.)
