What modifies nouns or pronouns.?

Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.

Here's how it works:

* Nouns: Words that name people, places, things, or ideas (e.g., cat, park, book, freedom).

* Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (e.g., he, she, it, they, this, that).

* Adjectives: Words that describe nouns or pronouns, providing more information about their qualities or characteristics.

Examples:

* The big red ball: "Big" and "red" are adjectives modifying the noun "ball".

* She is beautiful: "Beautiful" is an adjective modifying the pronoun "she".

* That old house: "Old" is an adjective modifying the pronoun "that" and the noun "house".

Key points:

* Adjectives often answer questions like "Which one?", "What kind?", "How many?", or "Whose?".

* Adjectives can be placed before or after the noun or pronoun they modify.

* Some words can act as both adjectives and nouns, depending on their usage.
