***NOT A TEACHER***I believe that "strict" is an adjective that modifies "drill sergeant." What kind of drill sergeant? A strict one. "Extremely" is an adverb that modifies the adjective "strict." How strict? Extremely. Thank you.

strict is an adjective
extremely is an adverb because it modifies an adjective not a noun
as I know ;-)

 

[Kondorosi]

strict is an adjective
extremely is an adverb [STRIKE]because[/STRIKE] and so it modifies an adjective not a noun, as far as I know ;-)

:up:

In your sentence, "strict" is adjective, as it qualifies the Nominal-Compound "drill seargent". The word "extremely' is an adverb, that modifies the following expression.

You're right.

Yes. For some reason I thought the poster was asking if "strict" is an adjective.

(I know that's what I thought, but at this point I can't explain why. (Maybe being on a shared computer can account for such mistakes. (Looking over one's shoulder. That sort of thing.)))
