I've learnt that an adjective qualifies or modifies a noun but I've seen some phrases where it's hard to see it.
i'm gonna use the adjective difficult to exemplify:
It will be very difficult to prove that they are guilty Many things make it difficult for women to reach the top in US business. He finds it extremely difficult being a single parent. The noise outside made it difficult to concentrate
I cannot see the adjective modifying the noun in the four sentences showed above.
Can somebody expain it to me?

Adjectives can be used in other ways too: He is young. Young is an adjective but there isn't a single noun in the sentence. CB
