Definition and Importance of Adjectives and Adverbs

Adjectives are words that qualify or modify nouns. They provide information about quantity, quality, size, color, and more. For instance, in the phrase "the beautiful flower," "beautiful" is the adjective describing the noun "flower".

Adverbs, on the other hand, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, and to what extent an action occurs. For example, in "She sings beautifully," "beautifully" is the adverb describing how she sings.
