Specific details regarding amount, size, scope, numbers, and measurements can also act as limiting modifiers. By designating a particular quantity or measure, they restrict the meaning of the nouns they modify. In the sentence "five apples," for instance, the number "five" determines the noun "apples" by specifying the precise amount of apples being discussed. Similarly to this, in the sentence "two metres long," the measurement "two metres" restricts the adjective "long" by indicating the length's full extent.
