What modifies or describes of a noun?

The words that modify or describe a noun are called adjectives.

Here's a breakdown:

* Noun: A word that names a person, place, thing, or idea (e.g., dog, park, book, freedom).

* Adjective: A word that describes or modifies a noun, telling us more about its qualities or characteristics (e.g., *big* dog, *peaceful* park, *old* book, *limited* freedom).

Examples:

* The *tall* man (tall describes the man)

* A *bright* yellow car (bright describes the color of the car)

* The *delicious* cake (delicious describes the cake)

Other words that can modify nouns:

* Articles: "a," "an," and "the" (e.g., *a* dog, *an* apple, *the* house).

* Pronouns: Words that replace nouns (e.g., *he*, *she*, *it*, *they*, *this*, *that*).

* Numbers: (e.g., *two* dogs, *five* apples).

* Possessive nouns: Nouns that show ownership (e.g., *John's* book, *the dog's* bone).
