Here's a breakdown:
* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, telling us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.
* Pronouns take the place of nouns, and possessive pronouns show who or what something belongs to.
Examples:
* Adverb: "The bird flew quickly." (Quickly modifies the verb "flew")
* Possessive Pronoun: "The dog wagged its tail." (Its shows ownership of the tail)
