Explanation:

An adverb modifies or describes a verb and can change it. For example for question number 5, if the adverb changes to later it changes the sentence. For a better definition: a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.
