verbs
like worked SLOWLY

An ly at the end is a dead giveaway but is not always the case.

Adverbs also modify adjectives and sometimes other adverbs. They can even modify clauses.

modifying an adjective:
~ She was a very talented painter.
adv = very
adj = talented
noun = painter

modifying an adverb:
~ He played the oboe really well.
adv = really (modifies "well")
adv = well (modifies "played")
