Look at the examples below: (Adverbs are in red)
Eat your food nicely.

Eat your food nicely.
You guessed the answer perfectly.
After that accident she drives slowly.
It was not a joke. She said that seriously.
As in the examples, adverbs mainly appear at the end of the sentences and are mainly having "ly" at the end. But not any word with "ly" at the end is an adverb neither any adverb ends in "ly". Below are some examples of the adverbs that do not end in "ly": (adverbs are in red)
Neliya runs fast.
You should study hard.
I arrived home late.
They arrived home early.
Your English is good. You speak well.

nationality, etc. of nouns and appear before them. Look at the examples below:
(words in red are adjectives)
Blue eyes
Nice day

Adjectives

(words in red are adjectives)

Adjectives are the same for plural or single nouns.
