Now think of real-life towns. What comes to mind? description, seen, want to go there, who lives there? anything is better than nothing at all. You've GOT to practice those forms actively, not learn them passively off by heart!!! Likewise (all feminine, all in -εως ):
When I said "ALL" I certainly did not mean "including men",ἡ Ἀκρόπολις, τῆς Ἀκροπόλεως ἡ πανήγυρις, τῆς πανηγύρεως ἡ πρᾶξις, τῆς πράξεως ἡ ἀνάλυσις, τῆς ἀναλύσεως ἡ κρίσις, τῆς κρίσεως ἡ φύσις, τῆς φύσεως  and plenty more
