It means that adverbs describe verbs. They say more about a verb--like amount, time, way of action. For example: He FREQUENTLY went to that restaurant. They entered the room SWIFTLY. She caressed his cheek VERY SWEETLY. They also describe other adverbs (like in the 3rd sentence) and they mostly end in -LY.
