Adverbs modify verbs. See explanation.

Adverbs are used to add information about the actions described by verbs.

Example:

We can say : John appeared in the room.

If we want to add some information we can add a word saying how John appeared.

Suddenly John appeared in the room.

Suddenly is an example of adverb describing the word to appear..
