An adverb often, but not always, ends with the suffix 'ly'. By definition, it also must qualify (refer to, or describe) a verb, another adverb, or, an adjective.

Here's an example with the adverbs highlighted in bold italics:
'The very lonely villager desperatelysought a woman to love and to marry'.

  • 'Very' is an adverb because it describes the word 'lonely', which is an adjective.
  • 'Lonely' is not an adverb, but is an adjective because it describes the word 'villager', which is a noun.
  • 'Desperately' is another adverb because it describes the word 'sought', which is a verb.
