Adverb or adjective

Hi all,

When you say "He works hard". Is 'hard' an adverb or an adjective here and why?

Your response much appreciated.

Re: Adverb or adjective

As it is modifying the verb "works", it must be an adverb.

His work was hard - here it is an adjective as it is describing the noun "work"
