- And modifiers that come before a noun are called , whereas modifiers that come after a noun are called
💥 Modifiers that come BEFORE the noun can be: 👉 articles, possessive nouns, possessive pronouns, adjectives, participles, numerals, quantifiers, or demonstrative determiners.
✔️ We will see their examples later.
💥 And modifiers that come AFTER the noun can be: 👉 prepositional phrase, adjective clause, participle phrase, or infinitive.
✔️ We will see their examples later.
🌹 From the note above, it is clear that modifiers are of different types according to their function in modifying the noun to form a noun phrase.
Here, a is just a word [or words] that describes the noun.
Hope the post is clear and understood..
