Adverbs and Ajectives

Grammar Rx presentation here I come

Adverbs modify verbs; while adjectives modify nouns. 

I really really hope that is right or else I've been getting this wrong for many years of my life.  But I thought there was not much more to know about adjectives and adverbs.  Apparently I am wrong.

Anderson first discusses are adjective strings, or placing many adjective in a sentence to "beef-up" a sentence when in reality the line of adjectives make the sentence look clunky and lose the flow.  He proposes the idea of the "Human Sentence" and if I were constructing an Rx for Adjectives I would attempt to incorporate that into my lesson.  It gives a visual image to paint with, see how a sentence can be manipulated to breath, grow, and change.  As for the adjective clause, I am not sure I understand it 100 percent but I think the idea is to keep the phrase to the left of the noun, an adjective and not another noun. 

Okay now to Adverbs, this is the material I am presenting in my Rx.  

"An Adverb tells when, how, where and to what extent an action or verb is done."  140  Usually adverbs end in ly but there are exceptions to everywhere rule.  Today, I mowed the lawn.  I think would be an exception.  Also -- "Conjunctive adverbs show addition, comparison, contrast example, summary, and time sequence by linking sentences and paragraphs."140.

In his lesson Anderson he puts a small part of dialogue on the board and adds different adverbs to modify the phrase so whoever reads it speaks in a different tone. 

"Adverb clauses tell why, how, when and under what condition things are or were done.  Adverb clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions such as after, although as, when, while, until, because, before, if and since (AAAWWUBBIS)" 138

It could not get away from me.  Okay off the top of my head I do not know what a subordinating conjunction is.  And what is kicker is I know I am supposed to know because we studied them.

From what I gain as my understanding so far is that the adverb describes the aforementioned and the clause part is triggered by one of the AAAWWUBBIS words.  I am thinking right now for my Rx I could give each one a word and then they would have to go around and obtain other examples from one another.  Maybe. or just share.
