Would this be an adj or adv/?

Question

in the sentence : Traffic was very congested.

would very be and adj or adv i get so confused on those

Answer 1

The word 'congested' describes the noun 'traffic' (what kind of traffic-congested). Hence, it is an adjective.

Adverb, on the other hand, describes a verb.

Answer 2

adj. describes a noun, and adv. describes a verb, which is an action word.  So "conjested" is neither a noun or verb, it is a adjective.  Therefore, "very" is an intensifing adverb

Answer 3

adv/  adverb

;-) !!!

Answer 4

It's an adjective. One way to tell them apart is that most of the times adverbs end in -ly.
