Step-by-step explanation:

A verb is a word that we use to refer to actions (what things do) and states of being (how things are).

it is a doing word and it describes or tells us about an action.

e.g eat, work, escape, is, are etc

An adjective modifies a noun or noun phrase.

An adjective is a word that describes the traits, qualities, or number of a noun.

it tells us more about a noun or pronoun.

e.g She is beautiful; beautiful is an adjective which tells us about the trait 'She' a pronoun possess.

An adverb is 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.

e.g (i) She never comes late.

never is an adverb of frequency.

(ii)Philip has been seriously injured in a road accident

seriously is an adverb of manner
