'Adjective' modifies a noun . For example , see the sentence "John purchased a nice bag" .In this 'nice' is the adjective which modifies the noun 'bag' .

'Adverb' modifies a verb , adjective or even the adverb itself . Consider this as an example "John swiftly passed the ball to Sam" . In this sentence 'swiftly' is the adverb which modifies the verb 'passed '

Additionally, ask the questions, When?, Where?, How?, and Why? The answers will be adverbs. For example,

[1] I went to the store yesterday.

When? => Yesterday. (adverb of time)

Where? => To the store. (adverb of place)

[2] He drives slowly.

How does he drive? => Slowly. (adverb of manner)

[3] She needs a key (in order) to get into the house.

Why does she need a key? => To get into the house. (adverb of purpose)

Hope that helps.
