Does an adjective modify the verb in a sentence?

No, adjectives do not modify verbs.

Here's why:

* Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns. They tell us more about the person, place, thing, or idea that the noun or pronoun refers to.

* Verbs express actions or states of being. They tell us what the subject is doing or what is happening.

Example:

* The *beautiful* bird *sang* sweetly.

* "Beautiful" is an adjective modifying the noun "bird".

* "Sang" is the verb, describing the action of the bird.

Adverbs are the words that modify verbs, providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent the action occurs.

Example:

* The bird sang *beautifully*.

* "Beautifully" is an adverb modifying the verb "sang".
