Four of the words you indicated are mislabeled.
In addition you missed 12 adjectives and 4 adverbs.
For an assignment we write a review about a movie, sporting event or tv show using five adverbs and adjectives. I wrote about the move The Green Mile. My Adverbs will be in all Caps and adjectives (). Please take a look over it and let me know how I did. Also, if you see any other errors please feel free to let me know.
I watched a (great) movie last weekend with my husband. The name of the movie is The Green Mile. The two main actors in the movie are Tom Hanks as Paul and Michael Clark Duncan as John, both are (amazing) actors. TOGETHER the two of them do a much BETTER job of showing emotion in the film than others I have seen. The movie has a very intense plot but an EXTREMELY sad ending. The wrongfully convicted prisoner, John, has EXTRAORDINILARY rare power to heal, and allows correctional officer Paul to (witness) this when he heals him. The night of Johns execution Paul is OBVIOUSLY emotional, but John(assured, assures) him he is ready and only requests the black hood not be put over his head because he is (afraid) of the dark. The Green Mile was nominated for, and won many rewards.

Have you really studied your text materials and the websites we've posted for you?
Yes I have, and I actually thought I was doing well with this writing.
Two more hints:
When you identify an adjective, be sure you know what noun or pronoun it's describing. Be sure you know whether it tells WHICH, WHAT KIND OF, or HOW MANY about the word it modifies.
When you identify an adverb, be sure you know which verb, adjective, or other adverb it's describing. Be sure you know whether it tells WHERE, HOW, WHEN, or TO WHAT EXTENT about the word it modifies.
Look a lot of the words up in a dictionary to make sure you have the right part of speech.

A few examples:
Adjectives:
great >> modifies movie >> WHAT KIND OF
last >> modifies weekend >> WHICH
two >> modifies actors >> HOW MANY
Adverbs:
much >> modifies adj. better >> TO WHAT EXTENT
very >> modifies adj. intense >> TO WHAT EXTENT
wrongfully >> modifies adj. convicted >> HOW
Adjectives:
great >> modifies movie >> WHAT KIND OF
last >> modifies weekend >> WHICH
two >> modifies actors >> HOW MANY
Adverbs:
much >> modifies adj. better >> TO WHAT EXTENT
very >> modifies adj. intense >> TO WHAT EXTENT
wrongfully >> modifies adj. convicted >> HOW
Thank you so much for the examples. It really helps me to see the hint of what kind of, how many, which and to what extent.
