There are only two classes of words that are used for description in English:  adjectives and adverbs.

Adjectives:  Adjectives ONLY describe nouns.  They do absolutely nothing else.
                NOTE:  Adjectives usually come before the noun they describe.

                example:  red, high, amiable, silly, lame, open
                examples in use:  red car, amiable person, silly walk, lame duck, open door

Adverbs:  Adverbs describe anything they want to, except they cannot describe nouns.
                NOTE:  Many adverbs end in -ly (but certainly not all).

                example:  gracefully, too, very, really, masochistically
