 * Three ways you can modify a dress:**


 * Discuss:** What are three ways you can modify 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 (What kind of bread?) Looks like a verb: The pig's **curled** tail (What kind of tail?)
