Meine Frage:
I've some problems to see if it's an adjective or an adverb.
But most problem is to form sentences with one adjective an one adverb.
Like this:
Form sentences by adding at leas one adjective an one adverb to each of the N-AV (subject - action verb) sentence patterns.
5. house stood
6. rain stopped
7. dogs barked
8. puppy followed.
given example: The wise man's house stood firm.
Now, what ist the adverb? Is it "firm" or "wise"?
And what is the adjective? I think it's "man's"
I have to form sentences with the other 3 pieces of a sentence.
May you help me?
That would be great!
Thank you very much.
Yours ruri
Meine Ideen:
6. rain stopped:
The intense rain stopped directly.
7. dogs barked
The little dogs barked very much.
8. puppy followed
The younger puppy followed me immediatly.
Is that right?

Adjectives are words that describe nouns (or noun phrases), whereas adverbs describe verbs. That means:
"The wise man's hous stood firm"
It's the man, who is wise --> wise is an adjective (otherwise it would have been "wisely".
However it's not the house that is firm, but the house stands firm, or "in a firm way". --> firm is an adverb. (in fact: "firm" is a very peculiar word. It is an adjective as well as an adverb, however, an adverb "firmly" exists as well, which has only a slightly different meaning in my opinion. That might have confused you):
That's the easy way to find out about adverbs and adjectives in a sentence  .

Edit:
Here is another exercise:
Form sentences by adding adjectives to these N-AV-N (subject - action verb - direct object) sentence patterns.
1. children were gathering flowers
2. we like juice
3. Pudge caught fish
Example:
The happy children were gathering wild flowers.
Now, to 2. I've no idea...
And 3.:
Little Pudge caught poor fish.
Is that right?
And, what would you do in 2.?
Next exercise:
Form sentences by adding at least one adjective and one adverb to each of these N-AV-N sentence patterns.
4. family visits Grandpa
5. people sought Savior
6. we are enjoying vacation
hm... it's really hard! 
4. Our family visits old Grandpa. (old, is that an adverb? or is it an adjective? Our, it's an adjective right?)
5. Many people sought our dear Saviour.
6. We are enjoying our hot vacation at the see.
right?
Next exercise:
Form sentences by adding prepositional phrases to these N-AV-N sentence patterns. Use any adjectives or adverbs that you like.
7. squirrels hid nuts
8. blossoms cover trees
9. Wags has buried bones
7. The cute squirrels hid the nuts under the tree.
8. The blossoms cover the trees in our garden.
9. Wags hat buried his bones under the bush.
right?

We very much like refreshing juice (hat wenig Sinn, aber das spielt wohl eher keine Rolle...)

Is that right? Yes
And, what would you do in 2.?

4. Our family visits old Grandpa. (old, is that an adverb? or is it an adjective? Our, it's an adjective right?) "our" is a pronoun, "old" is an adjective.
5. Many people sought our dear Saviour. Adverb missing. You need to find something describing "sought".
6. We are enjoying our hot vacation at the see. Same here.
right?

I'll write it again, so that I can be sure, everything is right.

4. Our family visits old Grandpa. (old, is that an adverb? or is it an adjective? Our, it's an adjective right?) "our" is a pronoun, "old" is an adjective.
So, I need an adverb? Is "big" an adverb?
4. Our big family visits old Grandpa.
5. Many sick people sought our dear Saviour. Adverb missing. You need to find something describing "sought". Is that also ok? I don't find something for sought.
6. We are enjoying our hot vacation at the cristal see. Same here. Ok?right?

So, I need an adverb? Is "big" an adverb? No, big is an adjective. "bigly" would be the adverb, but I have really never encountered it. As you know, adverbs created out of an adjective mostly end with "ly". Another group (which might help you here ) is the group: "always", "sometimes", "perhaps", "immediately", "directly" etc. (remember "adverbiale Bestimmung der Zeit"?). Below the same problems.
5. Many sick people sought our dear Saviour. Adverb missing. You need to find something describing "sought". Is that also ok? I don't find something for sought.
6. We are enjoying our hot vacation at the cristal see. Same here. Ok?right?
