An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
An adverb tells us how, when, where or how often something happens, and it can also modify an adjective or another adverb.
(A) The machine works very well. — Has adverbs.
- Well tells how the machine works, and very modifies "well".
(B) She is a skilful worker. — No adverb.

(C) He seldom visits his parents. — Has an adverb.
- Seldom is an adverb of frequency (how often he visits).
(D) He speaks really well. — Has adverbs.
- Well tells how he speaks, and really modifies "well".
