Modification
The use of words or phrases to add descriptive information to nouns or other words. Modifiers provide additional details that enhance or clarify meaning.
Real World
Apple product descriptions stack modifiers ('an impossibly thin, all-day battery, edge-to-edge display') to build desire by layering qualities before the noun.
Exam Focus
Identify whether modification is pre- or post-nominal, then explain how the added detail shapes the reader's perception of the noun.
