An adjective describes a thing.

Eg:
The car is *red*.
My house is *big*.
I have a *lovely* girlfriend.


An adverb describes an action. Adverbs often end in 'ly', but not always.

Eg:
I walked *slowly*.
He studies *daily*.
She reads *well*.


To make this easier to understand ...

An adjective would answer the question "What is your house like?" (It is big, it is red, it is lovely etc.)

An adverb would answer the question "How did you walk?" (I walked slowly, I walked thoughtfully, I walked well etc.)

An adjective describes a person, place or thing, but an adverb describes a verb, or another adverb. Adverbs usually end in "ly".
