+Interfaces are similar to abstract contracts, but they cannot have any functions implemented.
+There are further restrictions:
 
 - They cannot inherit from other contracts, but they can inherit from other interfaces.
 - All declared functions must be external.
 - They cannot declare a constructor.
 - They cannot declare state variables.
+- They cannot declare modifiers.
 
 Some of these restrictions might be lifted in the future.
