Noun Modifiers
- noun and noun modifiers placed very close together usually

Rule: Place a noun and its modifier as close together as the sentence allows

Adverbial modifier:
- more flexible

Opening Modifer
- mod, b/c cannot stand as its own sentence
- don't tell you who and what its talking about

2 modifiers for one noun
The box of nails, which is nearly full, ....
w: the box, which is full, of nails...
- of nails: essential mod
precedence
- essential mod > nonessential

,which
- always nonessential

Always ask the qs
- what does this mod describe?

Better option
- n. modifier closer to n
- move adverbial mod to somewhere else so noun mod be closer to noun.

Possessive nouns are not actually noun.
- ex: Bill's celebration
- w: happy about his raise, Bill's celebration ....
