Are adjectives and adverbs modifying words?

Yes, that's exactly right!

* Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. They provide more information about the noun or pronoun they describe.

* Example: "The *big* dog barked loudly." (*Big* describes the noun *dog*).

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They provide more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.

* Example: "The dog barked *loudly*." (*Loudly* describes how the dog barked).

* Example: "The dog was *very* big." (*Very* describes the adjective *big*).

So, in short, adjectives and adverbs act like modifiers, adding details and information to other words in a sentence.
