The Modifier
  Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that provide description in sentences. Modifiers allow writers to take the picture that they have in their heads and transfer it accurately to the heads of their readers. Essentially, modifiers breathe life into sentences.

a	Picturesque	Little		Resort	town	year-round outdoor activities
A	Run-down		old	port	town	That has seen better days

GRAMMAR NOTES

When two or more adjectives modify a noun, they must follow a particular order

It's a wonderful, small, old, seaside town.

It's a seaside old, wonderful, small town.

Modifiers can be adjectives, adjective clauses, adverbs, adverb clauses,absolute phrases, infinitive phrases, participle phrases, and prepositional phrases.  

Without modifiers, sentences would be no fun to read. Carefully chosen, well-placed modifiers allow you to depict situations with as much accuracy as words will allow.
