(A) If you need sentences "with" adjectives and adverbs, place the adjectives before nouns, and adverbs before or after verbs.

For example:

* I wrote very slowly using long words.
"slowly" is an adverb describing "wrote"
"long" is an adjective descibing "words"
(and "very" is an adverb describing "slowly"
since adverbs can modify either verbs or other adverbs)

* I dance very well in high heels.
"well" is an adverb describing "dance"
"high" is an adjective descibing "heels"
(and "very" is an adverb describing "well")

(B) If you need sentences "without" adjectives or adverbs,
only use nouns, verbs, and prepositions or conjunctions.
Do not use any word that desribes or modifies either a noun or a verb.

Example:
I ran for President.
I live in Texas.

(C) If you mean adjective or adverb "clauses":
* Adjective clauses start with words such as "that" or "which"
and describe a noun.
* Adverb clauses start with words such as "while" or "when" or "since/because" and describe verbs.

Examples:
I write very slowly *when I use long words*.
(adverb clause describing "write")
I dance very well *because I was trained in ballet*.
(adverb clause describing "dance")

I wrote slowly using long words *that were difficult to spell*.
(adjective clause describing "words")
I danced in shoes *which hurt my feet*.
(adjective clause describing "shoes")
