I teach thr subject Morfology (English Grammar) at my University, and I could tell you that LATE could be both an adjective (for example: his late father, meaning his dead father) or an adverb, (He arrived late to my party.). USEFUL is an adjective (for example: This useful book was given to me. or the example: This book proved useful to me. - in both cases it is an adjective). The word MUCH is thought to be by many linguists a quantitative pronoun. MADE is a verb (to be more exact, the past simple form of the irregular verb, as well as the past participle). NICE is an adjective (just like in the example with USEFUL - the nice girl, or The girl is nice.)
I hope I answered your question. *
