Can adverbs modify nouns and pronouns?

No, adverbs do not modify nouns and pronouns.

Here's why:

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They describe how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

* Nouns and pronouns are the subjects or objects of a sentence. They are the people, places, or things that are being discussed.

Example:

* Incorrect: The *quickly* dog ran.

* Correct: The dog ran *quickly*.

In the correct sentence, "quickly" modifies the verb "ran," describing how the dog ran.

To modify a noun or pronoun, you would use an adjective:

* Correct: The *fast* dog ran.

Here, "fast" is an adjective describing the dog.
