2. What Are Modifiers?
|
A modifier is a word,
phrase, or clause which functions as an adjective or an adverb to describe a
word or make its meaning more specific.
Examples of
Modifiers
Modifiers can play the
roles of adjectives or adverbs.
Modifiers As Adjectives When a modifier is an adjective, it modifies a noun or a pronoun. (In these examples, the modifiers are shaded, and the words being modified are bold).
(Here, the adjective small modifies the noun mackerel.)
(Don't forget that articles (i.e., the,
an, and a) are adjectives too. Here, a modifies the noun mackerel as does small.)
(Here, the adjective another modifies the pronoun one.)
Modifiers
As Adverbs
When a modifier is an adverb, it modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. For example:
(Here, the adverb accidentally modifies the verb caught.)
(Here, the adverb incredibly modifies the adjective small.)
(Here, the adverb supposedly modifies the adverb accidentally.)
A Modifier Can Be
a Phrase or a Clause
Don't forget that phrases and clauses can play the roles of adjectives and adverbs too.
For example:
(This is an adjective phrase modifying the
noun mackerel.)
(This is a prepositional phrase functioning as an adjective. It
modifies the noun mackerel.)
(This is an adjective clause modifying mackerel.)
(This is an adverbial phrase (of time)
modifying the verb tried.)
(This is an adverbial clause (of time)
modifying the verb set up.)
As
shown by these examples, a modifier can come before whatever it modifies
(called a premodifier) or
afterwards (called a postmodifier).

Make a
Setence
A sentence is a group of words which
starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop (.), question mark (?)
or exclamation mark (!). A sentence contains or implies a predicate and a
subject.Sentences contain clauses.Simple sentences have one
clause.Compound sentences and complex sentences have two or more
clauses.
Sentences can contain subjects and objects.The
subject in a sentence is generally the person or thing carrying out an action.
The object in a sentence is involved in an action but does not carry it out,
the object comes after the verb.For example:
The boy climbed a tree.
If you want to say more about the
subject (the boy) or the object (the tree), you can add an adjective.For
example:
The young boy climbed a tall tree.
If you want to say more about how he climbed the tree you
can use an adverb.
For example:
The young boy quickly climbed a tall tree.
The sentence becomes more interesting as it gives the reader
or listener more information.
