Can adjectives modify pronoun

Answer 1

Adjectives modify a noun or pronoun...

Adjectives usually answer three questions about the nouns they describe:

Examples

• I have a blue car (What type?)
• Four tickets, please. (How many?)
• I would buy these shoes. (Which?)

Answer 2

Words that describe an adjective are not adjectives - they are adverbs.

Example : "It was very dark." (adjective - dark) (adverb - very)

Sometimes the same word may be an adjective or an adverb.

Example : "It was a dark car." (adjective - dark) "It was a dark blue car." (adverb)

Answer 3

No, it takes an adverb to do that.

In the phrase a red car, the word red is clearly an adjective.

In a big red car, we have two adjectives, both describing the noun, the car. So a bright red car also has two adjectives, even though you might think bright is modifying red; bright could also be taken to be modifying car.

In a spectacular red car, again we have two adjectives, with some doubt about whether it is the whole car or just its redness that is spectacular, but in a spectacularly red car, the word spectacularly is unambiguously referring to red. To modify the adjective, you need an adverb.

Answer 4

The can, and very often do. A single noun may have a number of adjectives.

Example: A big square blue sign is on the roof.

This should not be confused with adverbs that modify an adjective.

Example: The river is very wide but not extremely deep.

(very, not, and extremely are adverbs modifying the adjectives wide or deep)

Answer 5

Yes, the definition of adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun.

Answer 6

Adjectives are used to modify nouns. A word which modifies a verb is called an adverb.

Answer 7

Yes, adjectives can modify pronouns as well as nouns. For example:

Silly me, I'd forget my head if it wasn't attached.

Answer 8

No, adjectives can only modify nouns or pronouns.
