Adjectives in English are invariable. They do not change their form depending on the gender

To emphasise or strengthen the meaning of an adjective, use the adverbs very or really in front
of the adjective you want to strengthen.
 Examples
This is a very hot potato
Those are some really hot potatoes.
Adjectives in English usually appear in front of the noun that they modify.
 Examples
The beautiful girl ignored me.
The fast red car drove away.
Adjectives can also appear after being and sensing verbs like to be, to seem , to look & to taste.
  Examples

I don't think she seems nice at all.
You look tired.
This meat tastes funny.

B. Preposition
Preposition is a function word that typically combines with a noun phrase to form a phrase
which usually expresses a modification or predication.
Prepositions show direction, location, or time, or introduce an object. They are usually
followed by an object-a noun, noun phrase, or pronoun. The most common prepositions are little
and very common:
At, by, for, from, in, of, on, to, with
And also common are:
About, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, because of, before, behind, below,
beneath, beside, between, close to, down, during, except, inside, instead of, into, like, near, off,
on top of, onto, out of, outside, over, past, since, through, toward, under, until, up, upon, within,
without
Prepositions typically show how the noun, noun phrase, or pronoun is related to another word in
the sentence.
A friend of mine
The dress with the stripes
Hit by a ball
No one except me
Prepositions with their objects form prepositional phrases. A preposition may appear at the
end of a sentence or clause, but only when its object comes earlier. Contrary to what some may
say, there is nothing ungrammatical about such structures.
Was he the man you worked with?
That isn't what a hammer is for.
It's the chair you're sitting on.
She just needs someone to talk to.
Many prepositions (such as past, under, off, along, and on) may also act as adverbs. A few
(including before, after, for, and since) may act as conjunctions (words that join together other
words or groups of words).
  Prepositions Uses :
Examples of preposition in a Sentence
The preposition “on” in “The keys are on the table” shows location.
The preposition “in” in “The movie starts in one hour” shows time.

C. Adverbs
Adverbs is an adverb is a part of speech that provides greater description to a verb, adjective,
another adverb, a phrase, a clause, or a sentence.
Words examples and Prepositions uses :
 Spotting an Adverb
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Modify means to add to or change the
meaning of a word. Many adverbs end in -ly. If you are not sure which part of speech a word
would be, and it ends with -ly, it is probably an adverb. Examples include:
Abruptly: I thought the movie ended abruptly.
Beautifully: The beautifully painted landscape is a wonderful addition to my living room decor.
Delicately: Grandma's crystal vase is a priceless antique that must be handled delicately.
Delightfully: Her outfit showcased her delightfully quirky personality.

Lightly: She lightly dusted the brownies with a layer of powdered sugar before serving.

Quickly: Quickly finish the grocery shopping so we can get to the party in time.
Wearily: At the end of a long day, she wearily headed to bed.
Willfully: I sent my son to bed early for willfully refusing to eat his vegetables.
