Modify simply means to give more information about something. It's a synonym of\u00a0<em>describe<\/em>. We're going to use\u00a0<em>modify<\/em> in our later discussions about sentence structure, so we might as well get used to it now.\r\n<h3>Adjectives<\/h3>\r\nAdjectives [pb_glossary id=\"382\"]modify[\/pb_glossary]\u00a0nouns (and, less often, pronouns).\u00a0 They often describe a noun's properties or qualities, answering these questions: How many? What type? Which one?\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>The <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">fluffy<\/span> kitten snuggled up to me on the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">leather<\/span> couch.\r\n<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>My ankle was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">swollen<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5>Where Do Adjectives Go?<\/h5>\r\nAdjectives appear two places:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><strong>Before the noun they are describing<\/strong>, like in the first sentence above (<em>fluffy<\/em> before <em>kitten<\/em>; <em>leather<\/em> before <em>couch<\/em>).<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>After a [pb_glossary id=\"383\"]linking verb[\/pb_glossary]<\/strong>, as in the second sentence above (<em>swollen<\/em> appears after the linking verb <em>was<\/em>).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h5>Co-ordinate and Cumulative Adjectives<\/h5>\r\nSometimes you might want or need to use multiple adjectives to describe something, as in the following sentences.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Few<\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">novice<\/span> cooks can make a good omelet.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>Those <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">poisonous<\/span>, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">dangerous<\/span> spiders live in Australia.<\/em><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNow you might be wondering why I placed a comma between adjectives in the second sentence but not the first. And you might also be thinking to yourself, \"that comma <em>seems<\/em> necessary -- it feels right.\" If so, that's great, because that comma is indeed necessary. Here's why.\r\n\r\nIn the second sentence, the adjectives are called\u00a0<strong>co-ordinate adjectives<\/strong>, which means that they modify the noun (<em>spiders<\/em>) independently of one another. You could swap the order of them, for example, and the meaning of the sentence doesn't change. When you use two co-ordinate adjectives, place a comma between them.\r\n\r\nIn the first sentence, however, I've used <strong>cumulative adjectives<\/strong> that build up the meaning in two stages.\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>novice<\/em><\/span> + <em>cooks<\/em> --&gt; establishes a specific group of cooks<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Few<\/em><\/span><em> + novice cooks\u00a0<\/em>--&gt; tells us how many of those <em>novice<\/em> cooks<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nBecause the adjectives are working together in a specific way, the order of adjectives matters. And you don't place a comma here because the would separate those two adjectives that are working together.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<div class=\"textbox textbox--examples\"><header class=\"textbox__header\">\r\n<p class=\"textbox__title\">Do I Need a Comma or Not?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n<div class=\"textbox__content\">\r\n\r\nThere are two tests, both of which rely on you to trust your instincts for what feels right and natural.\r\n\r\n1.\u00a0 \u00a0Flip the order of adjectives. If the meaning of the sentence changes and\/or the sentence now feels weird or \"wrong,\" then <strong><strong>you should NOT place a comma between the adjectives.<\/strong><\/strong>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;text-align: left\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Three<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">large<\/span> rats scurried out from the trash bin.<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Let's flip the order of adjectives and see how it sounds.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px;text-align: left\"><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Large<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">three<\/span> rats scurried out from the trash bin.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\"Large three rats\"?

Adverbs modify <strong>verbs<\/strong>, <strong>adjectives<\/strong>, and other adverbs. In doing so, they answer to the following questions: How? When? Where? To what extent?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\"><strong><em>Most runners in the race were <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">extremely<\/span> fast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\">(<em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">extremely<\/span><\/em> modifies the adjective\u00a0<em>fast<\/em>)<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\"><strong><em>Carlita <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">slowly<\/span> jogged to the finish line.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\">(<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>slowly<\/em><\/span> modifies the verb<em> jogged<\/em>)<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\"><strong><em>She had prepared <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">very<\/span> poorly for the race.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;text-align: center\">(<span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>very<\/em><\/span> modifies the adverb\u00a0<em>poorly<\/em>)<\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nNotice that two of the adverbs above (three, if you count\u00a0<em>poorly<\/em>) end in -ly. That's one clue to identifying adverbs; many of them end in -ly. However, they don't all share that ending. Here's a quick list of common adverbs that don't end in -ly:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>very<\/li>\r\n \t<li>well<\/li>\r\n \t<li>sometimes, often<\/li>\r\n \t<li>never<\/li>\r\n \t<li>soon<\/li>\r\n \t<li>here, there<\/li>\r\n \t<li>today, yesterday, tomorrow<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<div class=\"textbox shaded\"><strong>Be aware:<\/strong> Some adjectives also end in -ly (<em>deadly, only<\/em>). Don't be fooled!<\/div>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h5>Where Should Adverbs Go?<\/h5>\r\nBecause adverbs can modify so many different types of words, it's important to place them deliberately so readers understand which word they're modifying. Readers will assume that adverbs modify the verb\/adjective\/adverb closest to them. Let's take a quick look at a few sentences to show how the placement of the adverb\u00a0<em>only\u00a0<\/em>can affect the meaning of a sentence.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>The child ate only plain noodles for three weeks.\r\n<strong>Meaning: The only thing the child ate for three weeks was plain noodles.<\/strong>\r\n<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>The child ate plain noodles for only three weeks.\r\n<strong>Meaning: The child ate plain noodles for just one three-week period.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><em>The child only ate plain noodles for three weeks.\r\n<strong>Meaning: The only thing the child did for three weeks was eat plain noodles.<\/strong>\r\n<\/em><\/p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nKeep that in mind when you write. Place the adverb as close as possible to the word that it is modifying.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","rendered":"<p>In this section I&#8217;ve grouped the two parts of speech used to describe things in a sentence: adjectives and adverbs.
