"They are pretty much the same."
"They are pretty much the same." "It's pretty much bad."
I have heard that much cannot modify adjectives, but I have seen the sentences, so I was wondering if much can also modify adjectives? Or pretty much is possible to modify adjectives? Thank you so much as always and have a good day in advance.

'Same' in your first sentence is functioning as a pronoun. The second sentence is not natural English. It is rarely possible for 'pretty much' to modify adjectives.

Thank you and then do you agree that 'pretty much' modifies 'the same' or it modifies 'are' in the sentence?
