Slow can be an adverb, an adjective, or a verb. But not a noun or a pronoun.
---
I'm gong to start with pronouns here: Imagine them to be just shortened nouns. Nouns= people, place or thing. Either it's got a capital letter or think "can I put 'the' or 'a' in front?" 'the car', 'a shoe', Paris. now: 'the slow'? wrong.
NOT a pronoun.
Adverbs describe a verb. Easy to remember because they both say 'verb'. Verbs are action words- think "can I put 'to' in front?" to walk, to sit, to sleep.
So an adverb needs to go with these words. They usually end in -ly. She sits rigidly, he sleeps quietly, and I walk slowly.
While slowly can only be an adverb, the word slow can be either an adjective or an adverb, because in some cases slow became the preferred modifier of the action, e.g Go slow, or The clock runs slow. (which means something different from it running slowly). It can also be a verb, to slow down.

Is takes an adverb or adjective?
Passed is a verb form or adjective.
But there are two words that sound exactly alike:
PASSED - adjective meaning went by, accepted, or succeeded
It is the past tense and past participle of the verb "to pass"
PAST - adjective meaning 'former', adverb meaning going by, or in the past
It can also be a preposition (passed cannot be a preposition).
- If it is a verb form, it is always passed. If it comes before a noun, it is passed for something that has passed, and past for a previous moment in time.
- If it comes after a verb, it is past. If it comes after a preposition, it is past.
Examples:
A passed warning sign could result in an accident.
A passed exam is the result of proper study.
His past life no longer interested him.
The car drove past at a high speed.

There are various ways.
Some nouns add a Y ending to form an adjective (e.g. snow->snowy, squeak-> squeaky, ease->easy).
Some nouns can use suffixes, such as like (hairlike, ghostlike), full (thoughtful, beautiful) or less(careless, lifeless).
Some nouns can be used as adjectives (attributive nouns form compound nouns).
Ex.
I was riding a mountain bike (compound noun). The word mountain is a noun. However, in this case, it is being used like an adjective to tell what kind of bike it is. Some dictionaries classify these as adjectives, others as noun adjuncts (attributive nouns), because the word mountain is not a characteristic of the bike, but is used to mean a "designed-for-mountain-use" bike.
What do adverbs and adjective do?
As we know, adjectives are words that describe nouns whereas adverbs are words that describe actions, or verbs. Adjectives and adverbs enhance the process of writing by allowing the reader to develop a representation of the author's writing in the best way possible. If the author writes a story about a dog, different readers will develop different interpretations. One person may picture a German shepherd while another person might picture a Chihuahua. However, if the author described the dog as a "fierce, black dog with razor-sharp fangs," the audience would be more likely to picture a similar type of dog. In a way, adverbs and adjectives help to unify readers' interpretations of texts.
In communications, adverbs act in a similar way. If telling a story, they help others to picture more accurately what occurred. They also allow us to eliminate possibilities and narrow down observations. When in a crowd, if your friend tells you to "look at that man," you may or may not be looking at the man intended. However, if they say, "Look at the bald man in the white shirt," the probability of whether or not you are looking at the right individual has increased. Adjectives and adverbs can also draw attention to things that may otherwise be looked over. Take these two statements: "The child is breathing." "The child is breathing heavily." One invokes no reaction while the other invokes concern. Is the child okay? Are they choking? Is something wrong? Without adjectives and adverbs, there would be no way of making this distinction.
Is the word by a noun or pronoun?
