An adverb phrase is two or more words that act as an adverb. It would be modified by an adverb or another adverb phrase.
To use "around" as an adverb, just make sure that it is not being used in a prepositional phrase. Adverb Example: I have been walking around. In the above example, "around" is not in a prepositional phrase. It is simply a word standing alone. Preposition Example: I have been walking around the house. In this example, "around" is in a prepositional phrase, so it is being used as a preposition.
The adverb phrase commonly answers questions such as how, when, where, why, or to what extent.
A preposition will use an object (noun, pronoun, or an equivalent phrase). Example: Getting dirty is part of being a cowboy. (being a cowboy is a noun phrase, object of the preposition of) Where an adverb might also be used as a preposition, look for an object: a noun or pronoun or the equivalent which normally follows the preposition. If there is none, the word in that usage is an adverb. Example: We walked on. (adverb) We walked on the beach. (preposition)
Jack visited us on Friday.Jack visited us very recentlyjack visited us last year.(the adverb phrases are in bold)
Yes, you can have a sentence without a adjetive or adverb phrase. For example, Her name is Sally. No adverb or adjetive!

Snow fell much earlier than usual.
