Adjectives qualify nouns.

They are

verbs like: be, become, feel, look,
seem, get, taste, smell.

Adverbs qualify the action expressed by the verb.
They always walk quickly.
Adverbs are formed by adding the suffix ly to the
adjective. When the adjective ends in ly, we use a
prepositional phrase instead.
