 * Discuss:** What does it mean to **modify** something?

Share three ways you can modify a dress. How about a treehouse?

We use **modifiers** in grammar. They change other parts of speech in the sentence.

ADJECTIVES modify nouns and pronouns.
I can modify the word LION by adding adjectives. I can talk about a **hungry** lion, a **fierce** lion, or an **African** lion. I can also differentiate between lions with adjectives. **That** lion, the **other** lion, **both** lions. Adjectives tell which one, what kind, and how many.

Sometimes a word that looks like another part of speech can act like an adjective.

Looks like a noun: **bakery** bread Looks like a verb: The pig's **curled** tail
