Overheard in my classroom today while reviewing the types of dependent clauses...
Me: So what part of speech can modify a noun or pronoun?
Student 1: An adjective!
Me: Great! Now, what are the three parts of speech that an adverb can modify?
Student 2: Verbs!
Me: Yes, that's one...
Student 3: Adjectives!
Me: That's two...
Student 4: Proverbs!
Me: *bangs head against the wall*
