| ==What is an adjective?==
| |
| An adjective is a word that modifies a noun.
| |
|
| |
| Adjectives may come before the word they change.
| |
| *Example: "It is a cute dog."
| |
|
| |
| Adjectives may also follow the word they modify:
| |
| *Example: "That cat looks nice."
| |
|
| |
| ==What is an adverb?==
| |
| An adverb is a word that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
| |
|
| |
| Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what extent—how often or how much (e.g., daily, completely).
| |
| *Examples: "He walks slowly" (tells how)
