Question: 1 / 400

Which word modifies a noun or pronoun?

Conjunction

Adverb

Adjective

An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or pronoun by providing additional information about it, such as its qualities, quantity, or characteristics. For example, in the phrase "the blue sky," the adjective "blue" modifies the noun "sky," describing its color. Similarly, in a sentence like "She is a talented artist," the adjective "talented" modifies the pronoun "she" by revealing a characteristic of the person being referred to.

In contrast, a conjunction is used to connect words, phrases, or clauses. An adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often indicating manner, time, place, or degree. A pronoun, on the other hand, is a word that replaces a noun to avoid repetition but does not modify nouns or pronouns directly. Therefore, the role of adjectives is distinct as they specifically serve to enhance nouns and pronouns with descriptive details.
