1.GEnerally, Chinese nouns can not be directly modified by adverbs .we can not say"不人、不时间、很书、都桌子“等。
However, there are exceptions
@when the noun acts as a subject , wecan use a adver"就”to show the cope.如:就小丽一个人在家。
@when the noun acts as a predicate,wecan use advers to show the cope or time,如:今天才星期五,我以为又星期六了。 我学汉语已经三年了。

Adjectives are mainly used to modify nouns, showing the nature, state, and characteristics of people or things. e.g. 美丽的花朵,漂亮的女孩.....Here 美丽的,漂亮的 (adjetive) modify 花朵,女孩 (noun).
Adverbs can used to modify verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. showing time, place, degree or mode etc.
In a word, In Chinese, nouns can be modified by adjectives, not by adverbs. However, verbs can be modified by adverbs, not by adjectives. Just like in English, you can say "She is a good student." you cannot say " she is a well student" you can say "He speaks Chinese well" you cannot say" He speaks Chinese good".
