Here's why:
* Verbs describe actions or states of being. Examples include "run", "eat", "sleep", "be", "feel".
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something is done.
In a sentence, "very" modifies another word to emphasize its meaning. For example:
* "The dog is very playful." (Very modifies the adjective "playful")
* "He ran very fast." (Very modifies the adverb "fast")
