✔ Important Notes:
- Words like “very” (in “very sweet”) are adverbs modifying adjectives — they are NOT adjectives themselves.
- “Who”, “whom”, “what” — when used as subjects or objects, are pronouns. Only when they modify nouns (like “What movie?”) do they function as interrogative adjectives.
- Ordinal numbers (first, second, etc.) are classified as NUMBER adjectives.
- “Each” and “every” are often treated as quantifiers (QUANTITY).
