Explanation:

✰ Verb is an action word, which shows us some action has taken place or an action is going on.

For example:

• In first sentence, 'opened' is a verb because the thief opened the gate and hence action has been done.

• In second sentence, 'sang' is an verb because Neha sang a song and therefore did an action.

• In third sentence, Hari 'swept' the floor and therefore he has done some action.

• Same in the case of fourth and fifth sentence.

✰ Adverb is a word which adds meaning to a verb, adjective or another adverbs. That means it describes verb, adjective or another adverb.

• In first sentence, how the thief opened the gate ? => quietly. So, it an adverb.

• Same in the case of other sentences, as in the last sentence, When they will go for a movie ? => today. So, it is an adverb.
