* Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns, describing their qualities or characteristics. For example, "The big red ball" uses the adjective "big" to describe the ball.
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is done. For example, "He ran quickly" uses the adverb "quickly" to describe how he ran.
Here are some other terms that could be used to describe qualifying words:
* Descriptive words
* Modifiers
* Determiners (when referring specifically to words like "the," "a," "this," etc. that specify which noun is being referred to)
Ultimately, the best term to use depends on the specific context and the type of qualifying words you're discussing.
