DJECTIVES
Modifiers of nouns are called “adjectives.” They are words or groups of words that add qualities to nouns of all kinds, including noun phrases. Adjectives commonly come just before the nouns they refer to, but they can also appear removed from the noun, particularly when they stand in the predicate of a sentence with a linking verb:
“The red barn is large Both red and large are adjectives modifying or related to
“barn.”
