GRAMMAR REVIEW: Adjectives & adverbs
An adjective modifies a noun or pronoun. It usually comes before the noun it modifies: “a nice cat,” “a happy couple.”
An adverb can modify a verb, adjective, another adverb, or a clause. It answers questions like how, when, where, how much. Many adverbs end in -ly: coldly, plainly, happily. Unlike an adjective, an adverb can appear in various positions in a sentence.
