    Grade Level: Grade 10 Topic: Structure of Modification

    What Is It

    Structural grammar is particularly useful for indicating structures of modification.


    Modification is a syntactic construction in which one grammatical element (for
    example, a noun) is accompanied (or modified) by another (for example, an adjective).

    A structure modification is composed by a head and a modifier. A head is the main


    word emphasized by a modifier.

    Specifically, a modifier changes, clarifies, qualifies, or limits a particular word in a


    sentence in order to add emphasis, explanation, or detail.

    What Is a Single-Word Modifier?

     A single-word modifier is a descriptive word that modifies the meaning of


    another word, phrase or clause. It can be an adjective or an adverb.

    Adjectives describe or modify nouns or pronouns.

    For example:

    - The adjective “green” modifies or clarifies that the head (noun) “coat” is in color
    green, NOT orange nor blue.

    - In this sample sentence, the adjective “cheerful” modifies or gives us an idea that
    the head (pronoun) “he” is described as cheerful; NOT unhappy.

    Adverbs modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

    For example:
    - Here, the adverb “quickly” modifies the head (verb) “swims”. When an adverb
    modifies a verb, it usually tells us how, when, where, how often, and how much
    the action is performed. In this example, it tells us “how” she swims.

    - In this example, the adverb “extremely” modifies the head (adjective) “quick”.
    While the adjective “quick”, modifies the other head (pronoun “she”.

    - In here, the adverb “extremely” modifies the head (adverb) “quickly”. While the
    adverb “quickly”, modifies the other head (verb) “swims”.

    What I Can Do

    Instructions: Identify whether the underlined single-word modifier used from each
    sentence is an adjective or adverb. Write ADJ if the modifier used is an adjective; if it is
