Difference Between Adjective and Adverb

Adjective

A word or group of words that modifies a noun or pronoun. Adjectives are called modifiers because they limit the words they are modifying.

Example: I'm wearing a blue shirt.

Adverb

A word or group of words that modifies a verb, adjective, or other adverb. Both Adjectives and Adverbs are modifiers, but they modify different kinds of words.

Example: She is an extremely intelligent person.
