Right!  Adjectives modify ONLY nouns.


NEXT -- The second kind of Modifier --- ADVERBS

2. ADVERBS modify verbs most of the time:
He is eating
(quickly).

Most
of the time, we make Adverbs by adding  -LY to the end of Adjectives. 

Adjective = quick
(The quick runner has finished.)
Adverb = quickly
(The runner finishes quickly.)

Adjective = careful
(The careful mother dresses her son.)
Adverb = carefully. (
The mother dresses her son carefully.)

Now make an ADVERB from the Adjective "safe."
safeness safety saving safely
