A modifier is a descriptive word which tells how something looks or is, and how something is done. Adjectives are words that modify nouns ( things) and adverbs are words that modify actions( verbs) .

A direct object is something that the subject and verb act upon.

Example : The hungry dog quickly ate the food in his bowl.

Hungry and quickly are both modifiers.

Hungry describes the dog and quickly describes how he ate.

Food is the direct object- it tells what he ate.
