"Very" isn't an adverb, altho it's often called that. It's a modifier,
which can modify both adjectives and adverbs. One way of doing this is
making them adjectives, so that they have to agree with the adjectives
that they modify, thus, for example: the-masc.sing.nom
very-masc.sing.nom old-masc.sing.nom man-masc.sing.nom.
