Adverbs
Adverbs is called biord in Danish and adverbium in Latin.
It is used to describe verbs and adjectives.
If you are looking for a suffix to verify that the word is an adverb practicaly the only one that is used for adverbs is –ly. This is used when you add it to an adjective, and therefore makes it and adverb. This is why they can be mistaken for adjectives, but they are used to add ekstra force to adjectives.
Remarkably, extremely, nearly, hardly.
Adverbs are also used to set a degree of something. Make it less or more.

Conjunctions
A conjunction is a part of either speech or text that connects two words, sentences or phrases together. When a conjunction connects two sentences, it is named a discourse connective.
Here are some examples of coordinating conjunctions in English and what they do:
As much as it is used as a preposition, for presents a reason as a conjunction ("I have a talking doll, for I am a ventriloquist.").
And presents non-contrasting item(s) or idea(s) ("They roll and they smoke.").
Nor presents a non-contrasting negative idea ("They neither fly nor fall."
Or presents an alternative item or idea ("You can choose to go to the carnival, or go to the Gay Parade.").
Yet presents a contrast or exception ("I earn money, yet I am still poor.").
So presents a consequence ("I recently lost my girlfriends, so I am looking for love.").
Correlative conjunctions always work in pairs to join words and groups of words together in a sentence. There are six different pairs of correlative conjunctions:
1) either...or ("You either fuck off or prepare your homework.")
2) not only...but also ("Not only is he hideous, but he is also Obese.")
3) neither...nor ("Neither the curling team nor the ballet dancer team is doing well.")
4) both...and ("He both fucked them over, and screwed them over.")
5) whether...or ("Whether you succeed or not.")
6) just as...so ("Just as I am the world's greatest, so are you.")
Subordinating conjunctions - to be continued . . . . (cliffhanger !)
