Dear Anilov,

adjectives describe nouns;
The blue sky / A happy man / An interesting question.

adverbs describe verbs, or adjectives
He ran quickly / They hurriedly left the room / A beautifully written essay

Sorry for the delay in answering your question.

Don't worry - I like questions!

However, there are so many uses of 'in' 'on' and 'at' that I couldn't tell you about them all in one answer. You might want to ask about their use in describing location (in a box, on a chair, at the end of the street) or their use in referring to time (in a month, on Monday, at 7 o'clock), their use as particles in phrasal verbs (get in, get on, get at) etc.

Dear sana khan,

The only difference between 'alot' and 'lots of' is that 'lots of' is more often used in informal contexts.

There are a lot of stars in the sky.
There are lots of stars in the sky.

Dear sana khan

Do you mean 'adverbial'?

An adverbial is a word that modifies or describes a verb. It might be a single word or a phrase or clause. It can also be used as the adjective form of the noun 'adverb'.

Here a good explanation on the BBC World Service website:
