large is an adjective because it describes the noun
swiftly is an adverb because it describes the vern
fish and sea are nouns.
A pronoun (eg it, she, they) replaces a noun.
The boy was crying because he was lost.
boy is a noun
he is a pronoun

In this sentence, 'large' is an adjective as it describes a quality of the fish, something more than just 'fish' would do.
An adjective would be something like 'very' in the sentence 'A very clever man', but in the construction 'He is a very gifted player', the word 'very' would be an adverb. The difference would be found if we answer a question: what does 'very' qualify in the sentence?
Words such as I, we, you, they, it, etc are pronouns, while words such as fish, son, baby, house, etc. would be nouns.

"Large" is an adjective; it describes the noun "fish". "Swiftly" is an adverb; it decribes the verb "swim".
