Adverbs : Adverbs tell us when, where, how, why and to what extent. Use adverbs to limit or describe everything but nouns.Many adverbs end in "ly," as in 'gladly," "quickly," "slowly" and "creatively." E.g: "Today, I happily baked a cake" tells us when (today) and how (happily) the subject (I) baked a cake.

Adjectives : modify nouns. Use adjectives to describe opinion, size, age, shape or texture, color, origin, material and purpose.E.g: red shirt, fast car, pretty flowers. “The apple is green" or "the green apple" .
