How to identify Adjective phrase:-

The trick to identifying an adjective phrase is to look at the first word within the group of words. If the first word is an adverb or a preposition, there's a good chance you're looking at an adjective phrase.

How to identify Adverbial phrase:-

If you have a group of words that is functioning as an adverb and that doesn't feature a subject and a verb (meaning it's not a adverbial clause), then you're looking at an adverbial phrase.
