Adjectives and Adverbs

My family
Jakhongir is my first name and Amonov is my last name. I am 23 years old. I want to tell you something about my family. It is not big family — only five people. I have a father, mother and sister.
First of all, a few words about my parents. My father is forty five. He is an engineer. He likes singing and when we have free time at home I play the guitar and we sing together. When my father was a little boy he used to take things into pieces. My grandmother told me a story that once he tried to mend their microwave oven but he could not. Then they had to call in a repairman. It happened a long time ago but now he is able to fix almost everything.
My mother is a good-looking lady with dark hair. She is forty two but she looks much younger. She is a geography teacher and she works at school. She likes her job. My mother keeps house tidy and takes care of everyone of us. Also, she is very good at cooking.
My parents have been married for 28 years. They usually work hard. They have a lot in common but they have different views on music, books, and movies. For example, my father likes horror films whereas my mother likes comedies; my father is fond of football but my mother doesn’t like any sports.

Adjectives and Adverbs
An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e., describes) a noun or pronoun. Adjectives may come before the word they modify.
Examples:
That is a cute puppy. She likes a high school senior.
Adjectives may also follow the word they modify:
Examples:
That puppy looks cute. The technology is state-of-the-art.
An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what extent—how often or how much (e.g., daily, completely).
Examples:
He speaks slowly (tells how)
He speaks very slowly (the adverb very tells how slowly)
They arrived today (tells when)
They will arrive in an hour (this adverb phrase tells when)
Let's go outside (tells where)
We looked in the basement (this adverb phrase tells where)
Bernie left to avoid trouble (this adverb phrase tells why)
Jorge works out strenuously (tells to what extent)
