Reflection:

In the first sentence, I found it interesting to see how adjectives can be used to describe nouns in more detail ("quick," "brown," and "lazy"). In the second sentence, I learned more about how adverbs like "swiftly" modify verbs by describing how an action is performed. Lastly, the third sentence highlighted the use of linking verbs like "were" and how adjectives can express feelings, like "excited."
