Adverbs describe HOW

• An adverb describes a verb:

The man walks slowly. 

• An adverb describes an adjective:

That is an extremely slow walk.

• An adverb describes an other adverb:

The man walks extremely slowly.

MIND YOU:

With the 'senses' we often use the adjective.

Ask yourself: 

Is the subject 'doing' the action itself???

e.g. 

'This hamburger tastes well' 

--> suggests that the hamburger is tasting something.

This hamburger tastes good!
